Who's a Hall of Famer?

[Richard Chuggar]

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.

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.

Totally broseefus.
Raines is awesome, Almoar is awesomer.

Raines? Not better than Dawson.

He was a lot better.

Lou Brock is a happy man, though, since he no longer has the worst on-base percentage among Hall of Fame outfielders.

I'm pretty sure Lou Brock doesn't give a shit.

Raines? Not better than Dawson.

He was a lot better.

his OPS is a whopping .004 higher than Dawson's.

Dawson has over 250 more home runs, and was far superior in the field.

I'm not sure Raines ever gets in, only because he's under 3000 hits.

The real outrage is that Pat Hentgen only got one vote.

That's offset by Todd Zeile's -0- votes.

If we're cherry picking stats, he stole 494 bases while only being caught _37_ more times.

He got on base .62 (or almost 20%) more than Dawson.

This thread is useless without pics.

Those are some historic pictures.

Is that a young Bad Kermit wearing the Hills shirt and calculator watch?

Fuck it, the man was the balls.

In fact, they should put a statue of him outside Wrigley Field with "THE BALLS" on the pedestal.

Lil' Kerm in that picture got a good look at his ballz.

That kid had cancer, IDITO.

Raines, Blyleven, Alomar should all be in.

Of course I'm still wondering how Tommy John never got elected.  He was a very good pitcher before and after his surgery, but the fact that he was as good as he was after the surgery is a big reason why it became commonplace.
