Should he be in the HOF....you tell me ?
Terry Moore......BA = .280 ....... Fldg % = .985
Bill Mazeroski.....BA = .260 ....... Fldg % = .983
As a kid, I saw Terry play (1947-48). It was the end of his career; and he was still making some tremendous catches.
Thanks everyone,

Ted I think this just proves Mazeroski should not be. Although at least he had some good longevity stats etc. And I just don't see how you credit guys for years they did not play, unfortunate though the interruption for the service might be in terms of their careers. Also not sure you can just compare fielding percentages for different positions.
