Baseball hall of fame
Does anyone on this board think David Wells or Kenny Rogers belong in the hall of fame?

Black Ink - average HOF is 40 Gray Ink - average HOF is 185 HOF Standards - average HOF is 50 HOF Monitor - > 100 means likely HOFer Here are Hunter's numbers: BI: 20 GI: 151 HOFS: 42 HOFM: 131.5 Here are Rogers' numbers: BI: 2 GI: 87 HOFS: 30 HOFM: 66 And Wells: BI: 24 GI: 123 HOFS: 40 HOFM: 88 So Hunter is far below average for a HOF but according to their index he does belong. Rogers isn't even close, Wells is close but still has a ways to go which is unlikely at his age. |

Catfish Hunter is right up there with Tinkers and Evers as the most undeserving players with plaques in Cooperstown.

Let me throw this one at you.Had Dave Kingman not gotten injured 2 seasons he most probably would have hit 500 home runs.I think his total was 440 with a batting average in the 230's.With the barometer being 500 round trippers would this guy ever belonged if that scenario ever happened?

Mark,
I'm not big on giving opinions as to who belongs in or not. All I can tell you is that, since I live about 40 minutes from Cooperstown, it's a very nice place to bring your family. If you time your trip with the Hall of Fame game, tell your kids that there are lots of autographs available. It's a "must" for baseball fans. Lake Otsego is beautiful, folks are friendly, and it's about an hour from Saratoga, so the Racing Museum might also be part of the trip. DTS |
