Mac doesn't belong any more than Maris belongs. Mac could do one thing, and one thing only, hit the ball really far. Big deal. He was a mediocre fielder at best and legged out a large number of doubles into singles. Do you really think someone who hit .201 in a full season, at a point that should of been the start of the peak of his career, really belongs in the HOF? He had a few incredible years hitting HRs, but they don't even rate on the level of Koufax incredible. And I don't think Koufax belongs either.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
