Hey...I want to thank you for BEING contrarian...it's creating great dialogue and you ALMOST have me convinced he belongs. Given the statistical arguments you have made there is at minimum a justification. I like the comment that no one wants to begrudge a man his honor once he gets in, I certainly agree with that, it still bothers me though that there are quite a few players throughout the years with similar or better careers that will never be considered (and most shouldn't). The cronyism, good ole' boy situation that got him in stinks.


I do like the comment I received in a PM..."throw a Yankee uniform on him and your thread doesn't exist..."
