Another blogger has asked for my favorite third basemen. this has become a buzz with the recent decisin by the veteran committee at the HOf for not electing Santo. I have never been a big fan of that dufus....although he does have some impressive numbers.
If you go to the HOF website about half of the third basemen elected never faced major league pitching....not at all their fault....but mostly elected to fix some wrongs from the past.
Here is my list of HOF's:
1-Brett- i grew idolizing that guy and he could play
2-Schmidt-same but not as much
3-robinson-Great fielder with and good at the plate
4-Traynor-he hit a ton his whole life
5-Matthews-hit a ton and good in the field
6-Boggs-always on base and a couple of gold gloves
Now-There are some other more deserving third basemen not in the HOF. maybe because they are either dead or do not livein chicago that we do not know that have lost limbs or have been complaining about not getting in:
1-Ken Boyer
2-Stan Hack
3-Al rosen
4-Darrel Evans
Each one of the guys had a more distinguished career than Santo.
Maybe it's because everyone dumb cubfan have some hard on over him and tell him so that he believes he was one of the greatest. If that list of non-hof third basemen are not in then why the hell should santo? Evans hit over 400 home runs and walked a butload (Bill James most underrated player of all time).
Anyway, I am in dallas working for 6-8 weeks. I am at the American Airlines C. where the Mavs and Stars play (and the offices of mark cuban). The basketball players have got some sweet rides with the exception of one player who drives some cheap jeep...most our Bentley's and Mercedes with killer rims. The hockey players all have station wagons compared to them.
This town is nice but weird....i can't pin it down yet (probably a southern thang i will never figure out).

The veterans commitee are made up of hall of famers. They obviously do not believe that he belongs along with anybody else. They protect themselves, but they also played against the guy....was he clutch? or did he pad his numbers when they were up or losing big? Was he a factor on those winng teams in the late sixties? From what I have read it was all williams...he might have the numbers but that is not always the point....we have plenty of steroid guys coming up for the vote in the next couple of years and even McGwire did not get in this year....they may look kindly on the guy in two more years....i doubt it...it's a shame that some matthews played during his era and there were some studs right after him...people always compared alomar and sandberg...sure it's always the same game, but sometimes one needs to look at the the team around the person in question. sandberg has very little support while santo had two hof'ers and other key players....
I dunno nuttin...he had a pretty high obp...maybe??? evans first though

Regading your list of deserving 3rd B greats not in the Hall of Fame...you get the full respect as a cub fan who knows his baseball history - I can't debate the numbers of a Stan Hack vs. an Al Rosen vs. a Ron Santo...what I do know is I'm glad I threw the question out there to people who know more about the statistical history of the game than I do...I have learned something.
