I really think it must be the cocaine, since the HOF elections have seemingly become the purview of the "morality" police (most of whom who know nothing about morality nor have any claim to being particularly moral themselves) rather than being based on players actual ability to play baseball extraordinarily well...
That being said, glad you have Trammell somewhere on your list  He's another guy that for whom I just don't understand how he could be so darn underrated by so many people. |
Rock is one of my Top 25 All Time favorite players so I dont know how much I believe this.
He only had 5 good seasons then fall off the planet as a lead off hitter. 1982-87 he was deadly. After that he was below average. !981-1987 he was an All Star every year then never again. No GG. Thats all I really have. I would put him in front of several Red Sox players who are in.
