I know Maris fell apart quickly and his career numbers are short. But with 2 mvp and 3 ws and the 61 season I think he belongs in the HOF for the same reason Koufax is in. A short and powerful career.

Albert Belle's case is infinitely stronger on the short and sweet theory. 8 or so years as an elite slugger.

Joey has better numbers but Roger has 2 mvp, 3 ws and 61. Belle has none of those. Advantage: Roger.

The WS are irrelevant IMO. Billy Martin played in a lot of WS too, and Gene Woodling.

Albert Belle blows away Harold Baines. Look at his stats for the 1990s.

Agree, personalities aside, Belle was the much better hitter than Maris.
