# Face of the Long Beach franchise for a decade or more, Cargo sets at various locations of most LBC leaderboards. His JAWS, HOF Standard, and Gray/Black Ink numbers show his case is a tweener, and his 2,000 career hits and 511 career HR register in well. 48.3 WAR maybe goes against. So, definitely at least the Hall of the Very Good, but will the voters put him over the line? Another very interesting case.

I'm obviously biased, but I think despite the mediocre WAR, CarGo has a good case for admission.

2,000 hits, 500 HR, a Silk. The Black Ink, Gray Ink and other HOF metrics show that he's right in line with the current members.

Not every Hall of Famer can to be an above average Hall of Famer!

I voted for him without seeing the metrics. I think they reinforce his case.

He's slightly below the average HOF but he's a HOF for me too - amazing in his prime.

You're a good guy.

My case stands as previously stated...CarGo is just below HoF averages and should be inducted!

Is this the LBS HOF or BBA....🤔. Al jones was the last RF elected to hall in 2024 (long chamberlin went in as DH in 2029 but was also RF) so its been a while. But comparing stats aged 24-39 - the pretty much mirror one another in all the major categories. Im voting yes

CarGO has had steady support. This is his fifth season on the ballot. Could be a critical one for him.
