OT... Possible New T206'ers in the HOF
Posted By: warshawlaw
It isn't Lefty's fault that he was a crappy pitcher for several years. He did seven seasons in the majors and came away with 2 batting titles and a .349 BA. He was then a major presence in the PCL. He was instrumental in elevating Japanese baseball to professional level (he even named the Giants, their marquee franchise). Plus, he had a great bar in SF where the bartenders throw receipts across the room and right in front of you--really amazing to watch (OK, not a HOF issue, but thought I'd mention it). In short, Lefty was a great presence in baseball history and it is a crying shame that he isn't enshrined as a contributor.
