He was a good one!

[AJ25]

sad news. but he should be a hall of famer NO DOUBT!

[KFDM COOP]

I agree!

[Interested Observer]

He should be but most people will argue that he doesn't have the numbers.

[bullets13]

it's not everyday that someone keeps playing into their 80's!

[AJ25]

he hit a lifetime .298 over a 23 year career! need a say more?

[Interested Observer]

He put up good number in 23 yrs but he falls short of the "marks"

[AJ25]

your probably right, but i think eventually he gets in.

[Interested Observer]

Yeah, the guy had almost 2600 hits....like 1200 rbis. He also had one of the most unorthodox batting stance.....with the bat pointing back towards the pitcher. I don't think he's a first ballot but I think he gets enough votes to stay on the ballot long enough to get in.

[DC07]

if youve played for 100 years i think you should have more than 2600 hits

although he still does have a pretty good case to make it there
