Everybody always says...
Corey, by that rationale, without the gambling Pete Rose should not be in the HOF anyway because even though he retired with MORE HITS THAN ANYONE ELSE he was never the best player on HIS team. Art Monk retired with MORE CATCHES THAN ANYONE ELSE. Art Monk is not in because he was not "media friendly" and they are the ones who do the voting. P-E-R...D PERIOD. If you donnt kiss their arses you don't get in. Bottom line. And they want everybody to know "WE ARE IN CONTROL OF THIS AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!" (We know this because what other possible reason would Cal Ripkin not be a unanimous choice, but that's another thread) Guys, stop making excuses for this crap.
And Stoner, there are a lot of A-holes in the HOF.
And once again the best supporting fact for Herschel is the 4,000 x 3 and 18,000+ I mentioned above.
