He spent more time with the Marlins.

Fiat enough . Looked at his card though, man he ended up being a well traveled, odd for some one that talented.

Not that Rivera isn’t sure fire HOFer, but I like how finally for one guy to get a unanimous vote it was someone who pitches 1 inning a game lmao

I think you have to go in as part of the team you spent the most time with. Otherwise Andre Dawson would certainly be a Cub over an Expo.

Does Papi get in before bonds ? Cause Papi also had a Ped fiasco , but thst shit seemed to disappear .

Big PED going in before bonds would be an absolute joke.

 

[Corona]

@Revolver would dominate this.

I'm good with Edgar. The DH has been around for 40 years. If it's a position, then players should be recognized for their achievements. Career .418 OBP, .933 OPS, more BBs than Ks. He raked.

He raked against the guys in his own HoF class:

Martinez vs. Mussina (includes postseason): .307 (AVG) /.337 (OBP) /.627 (SLG) with 5 home runs in 83 plate appearances

Martinez vs. Halladay: .444 / .474 / .722 with 1 home run in 19 plate appearances

Martinez vs. Rivera (includes postseason): .579 / .652 / .1.053 in 23 plate appearances


.579 vs Rivera is insane.



I was like, 7 when I saw this happen on my TV.

It takes a lot of mental toughness to be able to be a closer, look at all the guys that try it, have amazing stuff but can't handle the pressure.

If Griffey wasn't unanimous no one should be IMO.

Well Mariano maybe Is more well liked than Griffey.

Griffey I think had only ONE dude NOT vote for him and it was some gotten to Oakland A's writer.

My dawg Jo finna be the explosive mike GOAT

 

[Sauce Castillo]

Roy Halladay said on multiple occasions that if/when he was elected to the HOF that he wanted to go in as a Blue Jay. Even retired with the Jays

Yet his widow takes it upon herself to decide when the decision was already made by Roy, and he's gonna go in with a blank ballcap. Maybe I'm petty but that really rubs me the wrong way

 

[Sauce Castillo]

Baines wasn't voted in by the BBWAA though and him getting in is a total joke. Same for Martinez imo

Wait a second, Baines is in the HOF now? lmao jesus I missed that.

Really lowers the bar.

He made it on the “new era” ballot a few months ago lol

I mean if he had already decided she shouldn't go against his wishes.
