I don't think Namath is a HOFer for the same reason I don't think Reggie Jackson is. When you have more interceptions than touchdowns, or more strike outs than hits, there is something glaring about that kind of stat. It doesn't suggest all time great to me.

Does that mean you don't think Jim Thome is a HOFer?

I do.

For any player in any hall of fame, I'm sure there are some or many who think they do not belong, for one reason or another.

I really enjoyed watching Joe Namath play. To me, he made the AFL. He did what he had to do to win. Statistics can be interpreted any way you want by any number of people.

How have George Kelly and Travis Jackson not been mentioned yet? Maybe they aren't the worst, but they're in the same room.

Not even a debate, Bud Selig, he covered up more crap than we will ever know.

You can compare stats all day, but if that is all you went by Barry Bonds and Pete Rose would have been in along time ago.
