I agree. I think he is certainly a hall of famer. I think the player who is unfortunately going to get screwed out of the Hall of Fame is Fred McGriff. Why? He stayed clean. He was a pro. He was a class act. His numbers are very comparable among a lot of baseball greats already in the Hall of Fame. Why does 500 Homeruns have to be the standard now, or so it seems? If so, why are guys like Ryan Sandberg, Wade Boggs, Ozzie Smith, & Pee Wee Reese in the hall of fame. I know I have bitched about this before. Maybe I love McGriff a little too much, but in my eyes, he has hall of fame type numbers & he almost single handedly, atleast offensively, won the Atlanta Braves their only World Series.
