20th Century Baseball

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

Jay,

As I stated earlier, I wish that the Hall of Fame was "for the greatest of the great. Players who can do more than one thing". But it is not.

The Hall "honors, by enshrinement, those individuals who had exceptional careers, and recognizes others for their significant achievements". (excerpted from their mission statement).

In my humble estimation the averaging of over 60 home runs for four consecutive seasons consitutes a significant achievement in baseball. Therefore, if the Hall excludes (whatshisname) then they would be behaving contrary to their stated purpose, independent of if he ever fielded his position.

Have fun - its only baseball,
Gil
