9mile Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 Dale Murphy played great ball, cecil fielder was the last true HR power hitter before the juice showed up, but both of them are 50/50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bxbomb Posted June 22 Author Report Share Posted June 22 watchin the Mets -Reds series reminded me of anothe rBARRY LARKIN just under a .300 career hitter , prob. the best Natl league SS for an entire decade , Played whole career for one team , First Shortstop to hit 30/30.1995 NL MVP , a world series ring and 3 gold gloves should get some votes doubt a first ballot though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing that out to me.No problem thats what im here for ,to tell bosox fans what the real deal is:itsok: yeh Louie was good pitcher had a few 20 win seasons but pitchers int hat era need 275+ wins to get in ANd his father was supposedly a better pitcher than him , wasnt allowed to pitch in the majors though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolahotass Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 Pete Rose... all though he's kind of an asshole and he made the mistake of betting on the game.. you can't take away his hitting ability... truly one of the top guys to play the game..

clubber5524 Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 I go up to cooperstown every year during induction weekend, its tradition. havent missed one in the past 11 years. So i feel very strongly bout this topic. These are the numbers taken from the baseball hall of fame website. Next to each players name is the percentage of votes they received. A player needs 75% of the votes to get in the hall and if they do not received atleast 5% of the votes they are removed from the writers ballot and then can only be voted in by the veterans commitee.Bruce Sutter 76.9 (this year's lone inductee)Jim Rice 64.8Rich Gossage 64.6Andre Dawson 61.0Bert Blyleven 53.3Lee Smith 45.0Jack Morris 41.2Tommy John 29.6Steve Garvey 26.0Alan Trammell 17.7Dave Parker 14.4Dave Concepcion 12.5Don Mattingly 12.3Orel Hershiser 11.2Dale Murphy 10.8Albert Belle 7.7First and foremost, i definitely agree that PETE ROSE should be in the hall of fame, but i feel mlb should not lift his lifetime ban from baseball. Let him get inducted once he dies. In case you didnt not know just about all of the living hall of fames attend cooperstown every year during the induction weekend (have autograph sessions, make appearances, play a golf tourney thats EXCELLENT for getting free autographs at) and it is rumored that many of the old timers (bob feller, robin roberts, etc.) said they would refuse to come back to the hall if pete was infact voted in. The hall of fame cant afford to lose the support of some of alot of its inductees to let one guy in.Jim Rice, Rich Gossage, Andre Dawson, Bert Blyleven, and lee Smith all belong in the hall. Mark my words atleast 4 of these 5 will be voted in during the next 5 years. After next years hall of fame class of 2007 (cal ripken, tony gywnn, and possibly mark mcguire) the years after that are very weak. in my opinion they dont contain anyone that derserves to be a first ballot inductee and actually they dont really contain anyone who will voted in by the writers. But the hall needs to have atleast one inductee each year to bring people up there so they can make there money. (sad how it works but it still is a business) in the next few years you will most of these border line guys (not border line in my opinion) get into the hall. hopefully this made sense, it all just came out quick lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
