# Look, the guy only stole 7 bases his whole career. Are we going to allow that kind of goings on to make it into the Hall? I mean, seriously, am I right? I mean who cares if he's perhaps the best right handed hitter who walked the planet for awhile? That he was the face of the league, better yet Carolina? You have to have your standards, I say. Seven steals? Sheesh.

[bcslouck]

Carolina isn't even a team anymore. He's out.

[aaronweiner]

I'm strongly considering voting for him despite the 7 steals. I blame our managers.

In the meantime he's going right in my personnel.

you have to be a very special bat to be a slam dunk HOF guy without ever putting a glove on at the BBA level. FT3 was that asnd more. About the only thing he didnt do (initial post aside) was trot out to the mound at the start of a game.

No brainer here. First ballot HOF.

[scottsdale_joe]
