I've always though he deserved to be in the HOF but they already have a spot reserved for Whiffs Ohtani because of the ooh's and aah's he gets from the pencil neek geeks on the long juiced base ball homers.

Interesting points, thanks for sharing, love the discussion on Cy.

Thanks so much for your interest Lou. I think several of us enjoy finding something out about the lesser known players who occupy an important part of our collections. Every 2-3 weeks I try to spotlight someone we've heard of, but may not know so well. Hope folks are enjoying these... I enjoy the research and subsequent discussion/perspectives of the very knowledgeable forum members!
