"no HOF post? my dogg Tram is headed to Cooperstown!"
but its bittersweet, bc Sweet Lou didnt go in with him. didnt even get on the fucking ballot.
his exclusion is an ongoing travesty. possibly the greatest current Hall of Fame snub in any sport. hopefully the 2020 Modern Baseball committe fixes that. someone ahow them where to find his 74.9 WAR on baseball reference!
but still. the "Bless you boys!" 84 Tigers finally getting overdue recognition.
BBWA Ballot: Trevor Hoffman 74.0% 3rd year Vladimir Guerrero 71.7% 2nd year Edgar Martínez 58.6% 9th year Roger Clemens 54.1% 6th year Barry Bonds 53.8% 6th year Mike Mussina 51.8% 5th year Curt Schilling 45.0% 6th year Manny Ramírez 23.8% 2nd year Larry Walker 21.9% 8th year Fred McGriff 21.7% 9th year Jeff Kent 16.7% 5th year (for reference, Sweet Lou got 2.9% in 2001 and fell off the ballot.
