Will a Colorado Rockie EVER be Elected to the Hall of Fame?

Maz was a poor choice. He was a great fielder, but also a lousy hitter. I think that the home run made a big difference. FWIW, after he was elected the hall changed the way the vet's committee works, making it much harder for them to elect players.

Think he was offended? - or just glad to be in?

I agree 58th in career 2b fWAR

82 wRC+ is 18% below avg hitter

according to fangraphs' DEF stat he is 3rd all time at 2b with 200.5

Maz was a pretty poor choice who I indeed think was buttressed by one home run.. which is pretty lame really. They already had a display about that home run so it could be celebrated without heavily lowering the HOF standard by putting him on.

Then again Schoendienst got in too, his JAWS puts him at 36th at second base, behind such luminaries as Tony Phillips and Chuck Knoblauch.
