2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[ricerocket1]

damn shame jeff kent wont be in it.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Fred McGriff deserves to get in as well.

 

[jewbacca2]

looks like the HOF spoiled their own surprise with URLs 

 

[Nike Still Sux]

Its a damn shame its taking so long for Rock to get nominated. Him and Henderson was 1 and 1a in their prime

No...

Raines was great and should have been a HOF'er years ago... But Ricky is a God... His numbers are on that next level where they're not even close to anyone else... Ricky is 1 and Raines is 2 (during that Era)...

I said IN THEIR PRIME. Numbers don't lie

Raines
'82 -- 90r 189h 78sb .277ba
'83 -- 133r 183h 90sb .298ba
'84 -- 106r 192h 75sb .309ba
'85 -- 115r 184h 70sb .320ba
'86 -- 91r 194h 70sb .334ba
'87 -- 123r 175h 50sb .330ba


Rickey
'82 -- 119r 143h 130sb .267ba
'83 -- 105r 150h 108sb .292ba
'84 -- 113r 147h 66sb .293ba
'85 -- 146r 172h 80sb .314ba
'86 -- 130r 160h 87sb .263ba
'87 -- 78r 104h 41sb .291ba

He was a 'god' at stealing bases. Raines was a way better hitter so it was a wash

 

[Hahahaha]

WHO ARE THE THREE ****** PRICKS THAT DIDNT VOTE FOR GRIFFEY?!?!?!? ****** PIECES OF ****

[shatterkneesinc]

[dakid23]

The Kid!!!!!

Now lets bring Edgar home

 

[nick.]

Moose better get in

 

[nomnom]

99.3 gets me angry lol

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Looking at the numbers the difference between larry walker and Ken griffey is so negligible.

one gets 99.3% the other gets 15%, also the idea that fred mcgriff is better than Larry Walker is patently absurd.

 

[nick.]

will Jeter be unanimous in 2020?

 

[Benny Hinn]

Junior

 

[khalilmack52]

Griffey

 

[nomnom]

will Jeter be unanimous in 2020?

no chance, I bet he will be under 95% too

 

[celticspride34]

I'm reading that some people think Piazza is a cheater because he took Andro ...

 

[aepps20]

Junior Griffey

 

[essential1]

will Jeter be unanimous in 2020?

Nope..

Won't even be close.

He'll get probably 93-95%

You throw in his fielding being piss poor for over a decade, he was never the best at any single thing. There's going to be a handful who won't vote him in. Throw in how many people believe he had been massively overrated due to playing in NY

Absolutely deserve to be in though. Obviously and will be 1st ballot.

 

[Nike Still Sux]

The Kid!!!!!

Now lets bring Edgar home

Best pure right-handed hitter of our generation

Who were the three Royals homers that voted for Mike Sweeney?

 

[mr jordan04]

Griff

What ****** idiots didn't vote for him?
Somebody who wants clicks on their blog or get their name out there

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Griff

What ****** idiots didn't vote for him?
Somebody who wants clicks on their blog or get their name out there

nope almost certainly old writers who dodn't even cover the game anymore, holding a grudge becuase tom seaver didn't get 100%.

 

[nick.]

the new Griffey emoji

 

[essential1]

As for next year's hall of fame, of the 4- 1st Year guys who even have any chance at all.... Posada, Manny, Vlad & Pudge Rodriguez..

Vlad is the only lock because of steroids with Manny & Pudge.. And Posada isn't a first ballot HoF, especially if Piazza isn't (although he should have been).



I was wondering why Sheffield continues to do badly in these votes.. Did not even remember him admitting to steroids
