Dang, was hoping we'd get two more Braves in today, not just one.

Make an argument based on his old stats that aren't an arbitrary time period then.

2000 hits and 400 homers .265/.346./.469. 46 WAR. Really good career. Not HOF. I’m sorry you see it differently than

I can respect that you disagree that he should be in. It is hard for many of his

The standard shouldn’t be “better than the worst HOFers.” I agree there are people worse than him in the hall.

I get it. I’m saying it’s a hard pill to swallow.

The writer’s ballot is so barren right now after years of having too many options.

Not sure why you’re so high on Schilling. 216 wins and career 3.46 ERA

Thank you for using wins and ERA in this post. The worst numbers was the cherry on top. Have a good evening.

shimmy

Uh they are the 2nd worst career numbers of any in the hall.

Well deserved for McGriff. I cannot believe the baseball writers did not
