Baseball Trivia?

  1. Yeah but he's already in.

    What about the Hawk?!?

    Sorry, this is an issue near and dear to my heart.

    It's a bad carrer move to beat out an Indian for the ROY. Just ask Pat Listash.

    The last Jew to win a batting title -- Jason Marquis!

    Thanks for playing, everybody!

    if, if, if, Buck.

    I love this debate, but at one time Sosa, Belle and Thomas seemed to be shoe-ins as well. It's so strange how the power hitters (most) will drop rapidly. Hitters for average very slowly fade away.

    I think Ichiro's body of work will be factored into his lifetime stats.

    Thomas is a shoo-in, still.

    Belle should be, under the Puckett and Koufax precedents, but his reputation will keep him out.

    Ichiro's body of work in Japan won't be factored in -- otherwise Sadaharu Oh and Shigeo Nagashima would have been in long ago -- but he'll do more than enough in MLB to make it on his own merits here.

    I agree with all of this.

    Ichiro's a lock, provided he gets to the 10 years of service.

    The guy was MVP and ROY in the same year and holds the single-season hits record. Done and done.

    Freddie Lynn agrees.

    ... and a 6-time Gold Glover ... and a 7-time All-Star ... and a two-time batting champion ... ;D

    Yeah, he's in. Provided the 10 years.

    Frank Thomas is in in his first year of eligibility, although I hope he doesn't hang around much longer.
