Probable conversation between typical HOF voters:
Dude1: What do you think of Blyleven?
Dude2: He was pretty good and all, but he was no Nolan Ryan. He didn't have that zip.
Dude1: Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm looking at Mattingly, but his batting stance always bothered me. I don't know if I can vote in a guy with that stance.
Dude2: I think he had some pretty good stats.
Dude1: Probably. I haven't really looked. I like to vote based on how I remember a guy.
Dude2: Yeah, stats can be misleading. They don't tell you much about how a player actually performs.
Dude1: I agree.
Dude2: I'm really thinking about putting in a vote for Gary DiSarcina. I always thought he was a team player who did his job day in and day out.
Dude1: Good point. I may have to vote for him myself. I'm probably putting down Wettlenad, too. He was so good in that '96 World Series.
