Ted,
If you use the flawed logic that there are players in the Hall of Fame whose stats are just a little bit better than (insert player here), you'll eventually reach a point where every player is worthy of induction. Bill James has done a great job of showing how flawed the "Well this player's in, so then this player deserves to be in, too" argument is. As for the horizontal Dunn references, I think most people realize that my posts about the T206 Dunn being a horizontal pose were jabs at you and your continual snotty reactions to most folks when they dare to question anything you might post about the T206 issue. Sorry I couldn't be more clear. |

Were the horizontal cards printed differently then the vertical cards?

Ted, given who is in the HOF I think a very good case can be made for Hodges, given the numbers he put up during the 1950s. His career stats come up a bit short, but if Jim Rice is in on the theory that he had an outstanding 10 years stretch, I think (without going back and checking) that Hodges qualifies on that basis too.
EDIT TO ADD Of course the same logic would say Steve Garvey should be in. On balance I would probably not have voted Rice in even though he played for Boston, and say no to Hodges and Garvey as well. Last edited by Peter_Spaeth; 09-29-2009 at 11:49 AM. |

I assume the question was not meant for Ted alone; 17 was Dizzy Dean.

This opinion of yours......
"I think most people realize that my posts about the T206 Dunn being a horizontal pose were jabs at you and your continual snotty reactions to most folks when they dare to question anything you might post about the T206 issue." .....is not shared by as "most" as you imagine. For many years, at the National, at the Philly Show, and many, many emails that I have received......have been very complimentary to me regarding my theories, posts, etc. regarding the T206's. Essentially, because I have informed them of certain aspects of the T206 set that they did not fully understand. But, if you think I'm a "snotty" dude, there's nothing I can say or do to change your impression of me. And..... frankly, I don't give a damn ! TED Z |
