Baseball Hall of Fame

I completely agree with you Mac. Bag's numbers say one thing about the guy. He should be in the Hall. He is simply guilty by association. He got bigger as his career went on and hit more home runs, therefore he must be juicing. What a crock. I also think it's a shame that Jack Morris isn't in yet either. He was simply the best pitcher of the 1980's. And if for nothing else, that game 7 of the 1991 World Series should get him in! I am biased about that one though.

Maybe Its me but I kinda lump Bagwell in with those guys as well. I'm sorry but it is definitely guilt by association. I do agree that Morris should be in the hall, and that there are most certainly guys who are in the hall that weren't half as good as he was.

I can't stand the "first ballot, second ballot" label these elitist voters slap these guys with. What's worse is when they wait until the guy dies then put him in post-mordem. Gee thanks.

There's no reason not to put Jack Morris in the hall. For that matter, look at Lou Whitaker's numbers compared to other 2nd basemen that are already in yet he's barely an afterthought.

You saw through me. But, I'm not arguing my feelings per se. The stats backup Lou and Morris. Tram, not as much, but it's not a huge strech. It would be nice for all three to get in.
