The Hall's motto is "Preserving History, Honoring Excellence, Connecting Generations". Anyone care to define "Excellence" in terms of a Major League Baseball player? Top 36 all time in HR's = Check Top 34 all time in RBI = Check Top 24 all time in XBH = Check Top 146 in SB's = Check 2% to 57% better than the average league OFer for 15 straight years (adjusted for park) = Check Top 7 all time power/speed numbers = Check - A rare combination of power and speed (don't even put Campy or Burroghs in the same Zip code, as some of you tried) oh, and the one that matters 77% of the BBWA think the above put him in. By HOF snob I simply meant people who rain on the parade of a man who undoubtedly put together an Excellent career. I personally don't understand why. I am happy for him and anyone who gets in.
