As I read what Bill was saying, he was making the case for Flood the player. Perhaps I misunderstood. In any event, I am not a big fan of people getting in for off-field achievements. It's too murky for me. Should the guy who invented the catcher's mask get in?

By the way, Flood LOST his court case. The reserve clause was thrown out in Andy Messersmith's arbitration.

PS agree with you on Mazeroski. NFW should he be in.
