Post by: LouisVOL on December 11, 2018, 03:15:53 EST Ridiculous, although I don't share your sypport for Murph. He had the two MVPs, but his numbers are pretty pedestrian. I am purist old school, I think the hall should be limited to the best of the best. Harold Baines is an insult

Harold Baines is an insult I actually agree- if I were in charge, there'd be maybe 50 guys in the HOF, tops. Many years, there would be zero inductees. But with the precedent they've set many times, Murph absolutely deserves it. For the better part of a decade, he was in the argument for best all-around player in the NL (Only Mike Schmidt could compare with him in his prime). 2 MVPs, top 5 three other times. 5 gold gloves. NOT EVEN A HINT OF PED USE. Everything MLB wants its players to be off the field, and more. Just because he hung on too long and saw his career numbers dragged down in his later years, that shouldn't detract from what he did in his prime. If you're going include guys like Baines, Ozzie Smith, Kirby Puckett, and Carlton Fisk, Murph HAS to be there too. Title: Re: Harold Effing Baines has been elected to the MLB HOF...

If Baines can get in, then about 200 more players that are just on the outside looking in should be shoo-ins. Title: Re: Harold Effing Baines has been elected to the MLB HOF... Post by: murfvol on December 12, 2018, 02:20:41 EST I love #3, but don't think he's HOF material. However, my definition much more stringent than the Hall's.
Title: Re: Harold Effing Baines has been elected to the MLB HOF... Post by: HerbTarlekVol on December 13, 2018, 10:29:10 EST First remember Baines quite a few times when he played for the old Knox Sox. He was a good hitter and played on some crappy Chisox teams, but certainly not HOF worth, IMO.
Sometimes I just don't get what the criteria is. |
