I lived in Chicago when he won MVP with the White Sox. It seemed like he hit a three run home run in the first inning of every game that year. It was an amazing year. One of the greatest years by a player that I ever saw.

Some teammates couldn’t stand him, the original Frank Thomas and Ron Santo, but other teammates thought the world of him, Rich Gossage and Mike Schmidt.

I had the pleasure of watching him, no one hit the ball harder

RIP. He'll be inducted soon, I predict. Wish that would have happened while he could enjoy it. Totally deserving!

I watched him destroy the Mets in the 60’s and remember his magical year of 1972 but I don’t think he belongs in the Hall. His stats are borderline but he never made the playoffs until the end of his career but what clinched it for me was that in an era when stars barely got traded he went from Phils to Cards to Dodgers the to Sox Braves Phils and A’s which was unheard of for a Star.
