@alschwartz717@OleTimeHardball Track and field as well at Syracuse. Multi-event track and field.
Pitched 2 no hitters in high school baseball. Scouts came to look, but gave up cuz they knew he was football bound.
@OleTimeHardball No.
Jim Brown.
College football Hall of fame.
NFL hall of fame.
Lacrosse hall of fame (Syracuse).
Basketball star at Syracuse.
Track and Field star at Syracuse.
Arguably best NFL running back ever. And until Tom Brady came along, was widely regarded as GOAT NFL player.
@OleTimeHardball Ummm, the stats chart listed for Lou somehow leaves out the part about his 3,000 hits? Thatโs a lot.
3,000 hits is pretty much automatic entry into hall.
@OleTimeHardball No. First ballot reserved for people like: Pujols, Kershaw, Rivera.
Scherzer, Verkander, Trout, prob not even first ballot right now.
Trout def hall of famer but doesnโt have the big numbers: (any one of the following) 3,000 hits, 500 homers, 1,500 RBI to be first ballot.
@OleTimeHardball What if Ted Williams didnt lose 3 seasons to WW II, and about 1.5 seasons to Korean War- how ridiculous would his career numbers be (theyโre already ridiculous).
