IF 'NICE TO ME' WERE THE ONLY CRITERION, JOHN MABRY WOULD BE IN THE HALL: Not to intrude into Alex's territory here, but allow me to intrude into Alex's territory to refer you to this highly-amusing list of this year's worst Baseball Hall-of-Fame pro/con arguments from actual voters. I wonder sometimes whether 21st-century baseball is the phenomenon with the most credible scientific scrutiny that goes completely ignored by the highest percentage of people who could best use that scientific analysis. You can't tell me that I don't know of 100 rank amateurs who understand more about what separates winning baseball from losing baseball than Woody Paige, Bill Plashke, or Mike Hargrove.

Anyway, does anybody care to defend the Vince Coleman: Better than Tim Raines argument?
