Calico deserves a thread as a solid guy and the owner of one mega-season, an amazing post-season grit, and maybe the best retirement moment in league history as he was named Landis MVP as he hung 'em up. That said, the overall package probably lacks the sizzle of some of the others. And, yeah, he only stole 7 bases his whole career.

Not even if he played another five seasons. But nice career.

Re: Hall of Fame Candidate Thread: Newman Watson
I like Calico cats. I like that he broke in with the Nine. I like that he came back and helped us out. I like his career ender.
Probably won't vote for him.
