[Team Ramrod]

Got the chance to meet him tonight but anyways do you guys think he is Hall worthy? 1977 Roy, 1987 MVP, 8 time All Star and 8 time Gold Glove. He is 1 of 3 players to hit 300 HR's and steal 300 bases the others being Barry Bonds* and Willie Mays.

[Nicky Santoro]

without a doubt.. one of the very few with 300 HR's and 300 SB's.. in fact, he's got 438 hrs.

the guy was great. an all rounder.. great OF, great range, great arm.. power hitter, just an all rounder

i say YES.. and easily..

[reno cool]

yes, one of my favs. If they can get Rice in, they better get Dawson in.

[Willie Bee]

yes, one of my favs. If they can get Rice in, they better get Dawson in.

Rank them both about the same as well, reno. With Rice going in now, Dawson shouldn't be too far behind.

[Ron_Burgundy]

Dawson will make it next year with the class being very weak. First year eligible players that have a shot are Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin and Fred McGriff

[jjgold]

He was a great player but I do not think hall off famer

[Bluehorseshoe]

He was a great player but I do not think hall off famer

Remember, he did what he did on two bad knees. Olympic stadium's turf destroyed the guy.

[Rio DiNero]

I really hope he makes it, imagine if he played in this era and took roids like the rest of today's players, this guy would of hit 600 HR's and been a no brainer into the hall. I would take that into consideration.

[reno cool]

Is Larkin getting in? I hope he does. All around excellent shortstop. Don't know if his stats are good enough.

[Nickelicious]

Alomar's the only lock I see next year. Dawson should get in, but he won't be first ballot. I don't think they'll make him wait 15 years like they did Jim Rice, though. Maybe 3rd or 4th year.

[Team Ramrod]

Im pretty sure that this past year was Andre's 3rd attempt for the Hall.

[Nickelicious]

Actually, after pulling my head out of my ass I looked it up and this was Dawson's 9th year on the ballot. He got 67%, tops among the ones who didn't get in. Burgundy is right, I think he can make it next year. I do think Alomar has a solid shot at first ballot, as he was generally considered the best all-around 2nd baseman of his era, a switch-hitter with speed and power and 10 gold gloves. But upon reflection, perhaps he won't get in because of that spitting incident with the umpire.

They oughta just vote in Dawson and Blyleven and let those poor guys off the hook. Dawson was a better player and outfielder than Rice on almost every count, especially on defense.

[ttwarrior1]

heres one to think about and you would of said no last year at this time, jamie moyer, phillies would of not won the world series or be 1st now without him

[Bigmikesm]

Dawson is not a HOF'er. He may make it in if he goes up against a weak class though. Don't feel Rice deserved it either. These are GREAT players, but the Hall should be reserved for the best of the best.

[ttwarrior1]

yeh it belongs to the roiders, roll eyes, you do know the players of today are not better than the players of the late 70's and early to late 80s right.

Over 14 years Jim Rice has gone from 137 votes to 412 votes. 10 years is long enough to allow a player in. He started getting the sympathy votes. Jim Rice doesn't belong in the HOF.

[Nickelicious]

Ah, Billy Williams. My all-time favorite Cub from my childhood.

[Bogart45]

yes on HOF

[Shortstop]

Jim Rice is in the Hall of Fame and Pete Rose is not? What a fukking joke!

[seaborneq]

Hawk is the only athlete who has bad knees that showed through his pants. His knees looked like oranges in his Cubs uni.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Great player, but there's one thing he didn't have...plate discipline. Low on walks, huge strike zone. Top pitchers knew this, and would take that big sweeping cut. Didn't want to get cheated.

Plate discipline is one element that doesn't easily show up in the triple-crown categories. So, very good player, but a little overrated, really.

[ChalkyDog]

Absolutely Hall worthy.

2nd favorite cubbie of all time right there. One of the cooler batting stances in the game.

Got to meet and talk with him not too long ago. His only complaint is going in as an Expo. He wanted to be inducted as a Cub.
