I'm a Cardinal fan and a little biased, but I never understood why Ted Simmons got almost no votes for the HOF.

8 time AS, way up the all time lists for batting categories for catchers, caught 1700 games.

He spent the 70's overshadowed by Bench I suppose.

Lance Parrish is another catcher, both were off the ballot with less than 5% in their first years.

I would have liked to see Ted Simmons get in, or at least some more recognition. His stats at his position rival some of the all time greats.

EDITED TO ADD: Just saw David's post above. I am glad there is at least one other person that feels Simmons deserves more credit.
