Sosa HOF?

I understand your point, but understand mine. Look at Bernie Williams' postseason stats. They'll shock you. He has 4 WS rings, made numerous All-Star appearances, won 4 Gold gloves, played CF for the Yankees, etc...and HE probably won't get in.

While Big Papi was/is a big part of the success of the Red Sox, playing DH alone certainly won't help his HOF cause. He would have to string together 10+ seasons of 35-40, 110-120 RBIs and avg. .300 to make that case overwhelming.

Walk-off hits are spectacular, but don't lend any additional weight. Check Joe Carter, Kirk Gibson, etc.

no, i know. i do understand you. he has a long way to go. but his clutch performances definitely help. especially when he gets the fifth ring!:cheeky:

good surprise

Hopefully Bill - and the rest of us - can now live in peace. Nice touch by the World Champions, very nice.

The 'W' was certainly good too.

Detroit looks dead, hopefully it stays that way for a few more days. Killer lineup though. They will make this losing streak a footnote to a great season I'm sure.
