Speaking of Ryno, does anyone else think fellow second baseman Jeff Kent should get more HOF consideration? Or is it just me?

The chart show Kent had more power. But 9 gold gloves to zero shows clearly who was better fielder. Baserunner also to Rhino. And 7 silver sluggers to 4 shows longer peak. Kent is close but Rhino had more tools and was all around better 2nd baseman.

I don’t disagree but just think Kent should get more consideration. In his last year on the ballot, Jeff got a measly 46.5% of votes. He was a serviceable, not great, 2B and he has better numbers than Sandberg, Alomar and Biggio in certain categories. Whatever….overall, I think the majority of HOF voters are a bunch of hypocrites.

On your last point I agree 100%. The HOF voters are a bunch of Hypocrites. So much so that I no longer visit the HOF. But I have hope that things will sort them selves out and one day I will go and watch Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds induction.

I had this thought for another thread (where has the 19 c. stuff gone?) but it wasn’t really pertinent….

I have a buddy who used to go to Candlestick Park back in the 1960’s. He and his pre-teen buddies would find cracked gamers in the dumpsters.

Not a superstar, but Brian Johnson hit two of the Giants' biggest HR's of 1997 - bottom 12, beat the d*dgers on Sept. 18 and pulled the Giants into a tie for first. 6 days later, he homered top 9 to beat the Rockies. Y'all probably know, Glomar was a short lived bat company, named after the founder's two children, Gloria and Mario.

Thought the group would enjoy this bat. Jim "Catfish" Hunter game used (PSA 7) Reggie Jackson model bat from his Cy Young Award winning era. Have more posted on my IG (@magic_waters). Keep posting! Love to see you guys' bats!
