@OleTimeHardball There is no Cal Ripken Jr., Alex Rodriguez, Barry Larkin etc...without Mr. Cub Ernie Banks of the @Cubs. Back to back MVPs. 40+ homer years. "Let's play two!"
You can say the stats and the game have changed BUT the value of CY Young and WS titles hasn't. So why would @dcone36 only receive 3.6% of the @baseballhall vote in his first/only year of eligibility while Lester + Hamels project to be on the ballot for 5 years. @MLBHOFNonsense
@JonHeyman Yet Posey’s contemporary Jorge Posada doesn’t get 3.8% of the vote. There is just a massive + uneven subjectivity with all of these writers. @JonHeyman suggests Buster is a first ballot HOFer while Posada doesn’t make it past the first year. Just some more @MLBHOFNonsense
@MLBHOFNonsense Posada is dropped off the @baseballhall ballot in year one, garnering just 3.8% of the vote.
Back to popularity contest I bet!?
And I’m not in the least bit a Yankees fan
