Morris & Trammell Elected to HOF

I am good with Morris getting in.... He had longevity at a high level with respect to his peer group in his era.

Multiple year All-Star Pitcher with 175 Complete Games (WOW!), Three 20 Win Seasons, Over 250 Wins, 4 World Series Pitched in, and 1 World Series MVP (10 Shutout innings in Game 7).

Pretty stellar to me. The 175 CG is incredible.

Good enough for 180th place on the career leaders list. Zowie!

He only led the league in complete games once, which means other pitchers were more incredible every year except one.

And since 1979, Morris is number 1. Second is Roger Clemens at 118. So, no other pitchers were any where close to Morris as a pitcher able to finish what he started in the current era.
