Glad to find this community
With the Hall of Fame inductions, we need to get this group a bit more active! I'm stoked to have found it, and hope we can get some more discussions flowing.
For example, Willie McGee received 26 votes, exactly the five percent of HoF votes needed to keep him on next year's ballot. Darryl Strawberry received six votes total.
Fact or fiction: Willie McGee was a better player than Darryl Strawberry. Strawberry was an eight-time All-Star, and finished in the top 10 in MVP voting four times. McGee was an MVP in 1985, was a four-time All-Star and lead the league in hitting twice. I'm not arguing that Darryl should be in the Hall of Fame, but should Willie McGee get on the ballor again while Darryl is one and done?
Also fact or fiction: Willie McGee was uglier than Otis Nixon. I think this is one of the toughest calls in all of sports. I'll go with Willie on this one, but it depends on how much crack Otis had done on the day you took his baseball card photo.
