I rest my case. This is just plain silly, IMO.
What's plain silly about it, Peter? That I'm suggesting one of the greatest defensive players in baseball history should be considered for the Hall of Fame? You don't have to agree, that's fine. But defense is half the game, and the greats of the game defensively are criminally underrepresented in the Hall, and in the game's annals. I think some of the players who were put in the Hall because of cronyism could be removed, and defensive stalwarts like Belanger could get in.
