# A true one-trick pony, but boy what a trick. Grant mashed his way to 537 HR, including a staggering 48 in his age 37 season. Grant also was rather prolific at swinging and missing, nearly setting the league strikeout record. He will be one of the early tests of how much power matters in this new era of big boppers, as if you take away the gaudy HR number there is really nothing there.

Comparison to Hall of Fame 1st Basemen: Comparison to Hall of Fame Designated Hitters:

He played for the Talons. Twice.

His HR's say yes but I'm having a hard time talking myself into voting yes.

I love Grant, but same thing. Yes on homers, but not enough elsewhere. Might vote yes to keep him on the ballot for further evaluation

I cant do it. Too much like Jim Wilson all over again.

I sure do love me some dingers, but in the end, I'm WAR till I die, so nope.

Madison traded Grant to make room for Mick in 2029.

bump for HOF discussion

Oh, another post for the ole count.

Bump for 2045 HOF candidate discussion

Another really important player who will have to accept a team Hall of Fame slot.

Talon = vote

Just not Rupert or Marko's day...with six new players arriving on the ballot this year and a ballot nearly maxed out, we had to raise the threshold to 20% to return on the ballot. Sorry, former Talons!

Just watched the Grinch with the grandkids. The mayor of Who-ville lost his tonsils twice.

Grant was removed from the ballot due to size constraints in previous seasons. He'll return this year.
