He's the perfect debate guy, because he was so good for a solid 6 or 7 seasons. I think the usual argument against him was the last 6 or 7 years of his career.<br /><br />Zippy Zappy - Dude. I'm a big fan of Stieb. Only know about Maris because of videos and articles.

Of eligible players, only Murph, Maris, and Bonds have multiple MVPs without getting the nod. Bonds would be in hands down without the steroids issue, but I've never understood how Murphy never got much consideration.Trevor Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09207010676916110937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-80216256769864577282017-12-17T08:58:33.425-08:002017-12-17T08:58:33.425-08:00Snorting Bull - I read a great article about Morri...Snorting Bull - I read a great article about Morris and why he shouldn't have been elected. The guy made some very interesting points and brought up the Jennifer Frey story.<br /><br />B Man - I think Simmons gets in eventually. Well... I hope he does, b/c I'd love it if Topps would recognize his existence and finally give him a Topps Archives Fan Favorites autograph.<br /><br />night owl - I'm sure he'll go the Maddux and Hunter route and choose the logoless hat to honor both teams ;)<br /><br />John Miller - 4 out of 5 isn't bad :)<br /><br />Brett Alan - I think Schilling might eventually get the call. That guy was too dominant not to.<br /><br />defgav - nice call. i dropped the ball on both of those guys.<br /><br />Johngy - I loved watching Dewey back in the day playing alongside Rice and Lynn. And I didn't know much about Freehan until someone left a comment on one of my posts about him. I had no idea that guy was an 11x all-star.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-57738168166022117952017-12-17T03:17:16.971-08:002017-12-17T03:17:16.971-08:00Solid choices.

I also find it troubling that there is a moral standard applied to steroid era players, regardless of guilt or innocence, that is not being applied to Morris who had some troubling missteps off the field.
