Batting average is an incredibly misleading, even useless, stat taken on its own.
As for the steroids, Thomas was one of the biggest, most muscular players around. If you're going to throw around completely unverifiable rumours with no evidence to support them about Bagwell being on steroids, then why not do the same for Thomas  |
Thomas has 500 HR and a .300 avg that makes his the clearer choice for the HOF on 1st ballot. This is 1B not SS, defense does not matter as much for the HOF. Bagwell should have gone in last year, or before, with Biggio.
Thomas has no hint of being tied to steroids, Bagwell has.
Google "Frank Thomas Steroids", then Google "Jeff Bagwell Steroids". Thomas none that say he might have been on them on the 1st 2 pages. Bagwell 4 on page 1 alone.
