He may not have been the 'straw that stirred the drink', but he was the heart and soul of the great Yankees teams of his day.
I think he should be in the hall but is not because he played during the prime of Bench and Fisk and comes off, at least from a offensive statistical standpoint, as short of their standards. His candidacy also suffers due to his poor relationship with the media - those who have votes.
I'm not sure if he would benefit from the players getting votes- not sure how his fellow players viewed him...anyone have a handle on that?
Peace to you, Thurman
Thanks for playing hard every day!
