It's hard not to argue the "players & writer's relationship" issue. I read that he (Morris) often didn't get along with teammates & the media during his career.<br /><br />Laurens - Are you referring to his no-hitter as a Tiger or his 7th game, 10 inning shut out over the Braves as a Twin in the 1991 WS? Both were amazing feats.<br /><br />Scott Crawford - Was it your blog that I read about the Finley/Morris comparison? If not... I read a comparison of Morris to someone with the same point.<br /><br />I'll keep you posted on my SW wants/needs. Right now... I'm good... since I finished my bounty hunter collection... but there are a few jedi's I might need.<br /><br />Night Owl - Thanks... I'm definitely happy with the purchase... I had a lot of fun sorting through the cards.<br /><br />SpastikMooss - Yeah... the Morris/HOF issue is definitely debateable... and he's on the fence for me. But... if I had to pick... I'd vote him in.<br /><br />You have to write up an article on your figures... there aren't enough SW posts in our blogworld.<br /><br />the sewingmachineguy - You have no idea how excited I am about finding vintage A's for this price. I usually pay at least a quarter a piece... and that's for the commons. I hope more voters think like you next year.<br /><br />TSHenson - I'm sure I have Indians... Email me and remind me... I'll look after I get home from the game tonight.<br /><br />longlivethewho - Wow... seriously jealous of your cousin. I don't have any sealed from my childhood... but I have about 20 of the figures from my youth (no weapons or accessories though). One of these days... I'll do a post on them.<br /><br />I have several Buffalo Bills... but they're already in my stack for Charles over at Hoopography. I'll double check to see if I have any doubles... if so I'll most definitely give them to you.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-78240114012093557252011-04-03T06:45:58.633-07:002011-04-03T06:45:58.633-07:00Lovin' the Star Wars figurines.

I have been looking for those to complete the team set, and cannot find them. Those two boxes are great finds! I can never have that kind of luck when I go to flea markets. As for Jack Morris, I think he is a fringe hall of famer. He was a dominant pitcher, and had a great game, but not sure if he is hall of fame material.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-2945009240522880452011-04-03T05:54:31.246-07:002011-04-03T05:54:31.246-07:00Nice haul!

If it did then you have to throw in Kirk Gibson, definitely Joe Carter, and then any number of guys in that heroic class.<br /><br />Yes Morris' career numbers look a lot better in comparison to those guys...but they're still not HOF great to me. <br /><br />Also, nice job finishing up the bounty hunters! My brothers and I must have 400 of those figures sitting in our basement in various boxes. I always called dibs on Bossk, Boba Fett, IG-88 and Dengar.

I had a pretty good day at the flea market today too (be posting about it later), but yours definitely eclipses mine!<br /><br />As for Morris, I say he's in, but I also think that Chuck Finley should be in (near-identical and in some cases better numbers than Jack's, for worse, and thus, less "famous" teams), but he never will be. If Pettitte gets in (and despite the steroid thing and the dream job he had in New York, he'll get in) and Morris doesn't, there's something very wrong with the world.<br /><br />Finally, I have at least 1 of that Bossk figure, possibly more. Wish I'd known you were looking!

Why can't I find something that affordable and good. <br /><br />In answer to your question, I honestly could go either way and make a convincing argument. Jack Morris is my ultimate cut-off guy. Sure he was the winningest pitcher of the 1980s, but Mark Grace had the most hits in the 1990s and he didn't even stay more than one year on the ballot. <br /><br />Ultimately, I think Cooperstown is not necessarily about the best baseball players (ie the hits leader and home run leader will probably never get inducted). It's all about how you treated the writers and that is just wrong.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.com
