Did Hank Aaron suck?

Is he known to be error prone? Or is this a known error on his card?

This may be obvious to others but I am primarily a prewar guy.

Rafael Palmeiro won a gold glove for playing 28 games at 1b and 128 games at DH.

Well, lets see...

All star every year from 1955 -75
in the top 10 for MVP 13 times, and no lower than 17th between 1955 and 73

He played in an era where multi year contracts weren't common, and did obviously get resigned every year.


If that's a player who sucks, I'll take a team full of them please.

Yeah that is one of the more remarkable things that ever happened in baseball. A true WTF.

Then again, Jethro Tull won the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Grammy award.

Sometimes, awards happen.

Yes indeed. Sometimes the people that choose the award winners can be Thick as a Brick.
