Position makes all the difference in that case. It's expected that a 1B will be a solid hitter. Larkin was one of the first solid hitting SS's who was always decent with the glove. Tho, to be honest, Larkin's another of those guys who was really good but didn't really stand out for me..modskin wrote:I'd think if Larkin made it, Clark would have... 2000+ career hits, workhorse player, yet still couldn't get 5% to stay on the ballot..Dr. Medulla wrote:He's one of those guys who was really good but never made a real impression (speaking personally, of course). Harold Baines is another guy like that. Guys you'd want on your team, but they aren't the first pick.modskin wrote:I don't know how Clark didn't make the HOF..

Hands up if Mitch's brother brought you over to the MBLA thread!
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I love how people can tear someone down for just the pure enjoyment. Just wondering how many major league at bats or pitches you have under your belts? You know the funny thing is, if Mitch struck him out and Philly went on to win the WS would anyone remember Mitch? You people spew hate just so you can feel better about your crappy existence. His WS check was more than you guys could make in 5-10 years.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Jesus, I just realized Mitch Williams brother posted here about some discussion from two years ago.

I remember him back with all the other white trash Phillies back in 93. My stepbros were fans, so I rooted for the Blue Jays. I remember he had a pretty sick mullet.
