(don drysdale, on the other hand, should not be in the hall of fame)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Schilling is a first ballot HOFer, but Koufax doesn't belong? C'mon, dude.

butch, did you read my reasoning? koufax may be the greatest pitcher of all time, BUT HE DID IT FOR 4 YEARS. i never said he sucked. i never said he was a bad pitcher. to me, unless you die at a young age or have some kind of disease, longevity counts. he just didn't do it for long enough. plus, he quit in his prime, because he just didn't like baseball.


i understand my stance is an umpopular one thats fine. i don't lose sleep because koufax is in the hall of fame, but at least understand why i feel they way i do.

schilling - in
koufax - out

I get your reasoning, tom. I don't agree with it, but I understand where you're coming from.

People like you are the reason Biggio will get in to the HOF, but Santo won't.

But that's OK. We can still be friends.
