what if he played only 6 years. but won all those mvps and all years an all star etc.. how many years is the cutoff?

I don't have an answer on that.

[1952boyntoncollector]

Right because if he played 8 years...how is 8 years make the cutoff?

I have not looked up sandy koufax but his career was cut short due the right type of injury and everyone agrees hes a HOF, also untimely deaths can play a role or perhaps descriminiation leading to less major league service

but unlike sandys injury if its just a bad knees or back pain etc...not sure how 8 years is enough unless the stats themselves almost look like 13 year stats or whatever amount....

Why are you asking about 8 years?

[1952boyntoncollector]

so then he has 12 years then......still was interesting to see how many seasons would be considered enough whether it 8 or 12 etc.
