Wish he would’ve gotten to 3,000 hits then they couldn’t keep him out. I think he’s just short stat wise . Hall of VG.

He is Mark Grace but played a few more seasons. Good player, not great.

Good for Harold. He doesn't deserve it, but several in the Hall don't.

Terrible. How does a guy who never got more than 6.1% get in?

Probably by being consistent (rather than flashy) while with the White Sox and the Rangers for the bulk of his career. He also played (mostly) before the roids era.

Dude never had a season about 4.8 fWAR. I think this might be one of the worst selections ever, I don't even think Baines is in the "Hall of very good", maybe "Hall of crappy player that stuck around a LONG time"

Why do you post some averages and then mention the number of seasons? Is your girdle on too tight? Mixed messages, man.

Is Grace still the only player to lead his decade in hits--but not make the HoF? :lol: They must know something we don't.

Sounds like Conns is racist, too. smh
