Who's a Hall of Famer?

The Hawk. A Hall of Famer.

Surprising, especially since I figured there were a few others on this year's ballot who would get in before Dawson. But I like it.

Dawson is sure to recall all the people he has touched throughout the years in his acceptance speech.

Damn.

I forgot to put Robby Alomar on my Dead Pool list.

Oh, and it's about motherfucking time at least 75% of HOF voters extricated their crania from their rectal orifice and put the fucking Hawk in.

I only wish he had been able to touch Eric Show.

Yeah?  Well, who's dead now?

I love Dawson but to be honest I didn't think he was a HoFer for reasons we've discussed in length before.

But, fuck it, once Rice went in last year than Dawson belongs.

Maybe next year the voters can extricate their brains and vote in Alomar, Raines and Blyleven, who were all better players.

Congratulations Andre.

Yeah but Robbie Alomar spit on a guy. Totally not cool, brah.

Raines?  The guy who slid head first so as to not break the cocaine vials in his back pocket?  Talent-wise, perhaps.  But in-no-universe on a character basis.

DRLP'ing yourself in the same thread?

Priceless.

And who are you, Nancy Reagan?

Maybe you're new here, but I'm pretty sure that Eli's claim was strictly based upon non-TORP statistics.

Yeah, you should slide in feet first in hopes of stabbing a darkie, like Ty Cobb.

I'm not even looking to start a Dawson argument.  Just saying that if the Hawk got in, those three guys should be in as well.  Specifically Alomar.  I really hate the "make-a-guy-wait" concept.  Either someone is a Hall of Famer or he's not.  And Alomar is definitely a Hall of Famer.

Tdubbs thinks that's some bullshit too.

Blyleven should have been in years ago.

Alomar will go in, but he's not first-year great.

Raines? Not better than Dawson.

When people pull out all this "five-tool player" talk, Dawson is one of the guys you put on the list. The list which starts with Mays and Clemente.
