2104799, SoE: Joe Posnanski's HOF ballot Posted by Walleye, Mon Jan-07-13 08:35 AM
Too long to swipe. I did like this though:
"There is no question that Walker's home-road splits are over the top:
Home: .320/.374/.546 Road: .277/.330/.459
But still … oh, wait, those aren't Larry Walker's home-road splits. Those are Jim Rice's. Sorry.
Home: .348/.430/.637 Road: .278/.370/.495
Ah, right, those are Walker's splits. But since those are just super-sized versions of Jim Rice's splits anyway -- and Rice just got voted into the Hall of Fame -- I don't think they are disqualifiers. Walker was a terrific all-around player who stood out in a crazy offensive era."
