Especially when that same player has had two game winning or tying singles in the current post season.
Should Ernie Banks be kicked out because he has no post season hits?

Thank you. I much prefer you to state "why" you feel someone is this or that. I value the post season stuff more than you do. If someone is a great player, then they need to show it on the biggest stage. That's true in any sport, or in any other type of entertainment. I don't believe post-season performance cancels anything out. I see it as something(a good post season performance) that should be present. Yea, AROD has choked a lot in the post, but he finally performed well there. Why are ya bringing him up, though? He's a D.Q. He juiced. That's a D.Q. I find it mind boggling that you would consider putting juicers in the HOF. Yes, you could possibly say that some players performance before( or after juicing) should be counted. Is that what you're reasoning is, or are you attending the Jeff Skilling School of ethics? To me, it's a bad message to society to allow them in. I don't want them arrested, or punished in any other way than this (HOF D.Q.) As a trainer, you have to compete against cheaters. If you aren't also cheatin', then they've cost you n' your clients money. That's one thing, but voting them into some honorable club is another. Far as Ernie Banks goes, that was before players were able to have the freedom to join clubs in order to get a chance to be in the post. Now, a great player will find their way to the post. People think Tex is great. Well, he isn't in Texas anymore. He's good enough that he was able to go sign with a team that would get to the post.
