He learned how to campaign i.e. Gary Carter. Dawson went on the MLB channel not long ago and stated he does not understand why he isn't in. I responded out loud. "Dude your numbers don't make the Hall." My Wife watched his interview and stated "if he isn't in and he was a nice guy maybe his records didn't meet the criteria for entrance." Leave to a woman to cut to the chase. She thought he was a pathetic figure basically whining for all to see. Brutal observation, but she may have been correct?
