I perhaps misspoke when i said not even close. He was a fantastic pitcher with some pretty mediocre teams at best. He had a great era, but i think the way pitchers dominated back then, a .500 winning percentage is not near good enough for the hall....just my opinion

Default ....and one homer....
No way, and I collect him....He makes for beautiful cards.....T3 is a killer....

A perfect .500 W/L and One Home Run is not Hall of Fame material....

Only his low era and strikeouts stand out in a long career in the era....

PS... Always looking for Rucker cards and photos... Feel free to coontact me....

He only pitched 7 full seasons. I don't think he's a HOFer. Riggs Stephenson-esque.

One of my favorite players, but he falls just short.

I think he needed some more seasons, as others have said. Certainly one of my favorite cards too...(shown a lot but still a neat card)
