NFT: Fred McGriff voted into Hall of Fame - could Mattingly?

Giantsfan79 : 12/4/2022 8:43 pm
I don't know if Fred McGriff getting voted into the Hall of Fame helps Mattingly (since he could be next) or sets the bar just beyond his reach.

To compare stats

McGriff - 52.6 WAR, 2490 H, 493 HR, .284, 1349 R, 1550 RBI
Mattingly - 42.4 WAR, 2153 H, 222 HR, .307, 1007 R, 1099 RBI

Mattingly got 7 of the 12 votes needed for the Hall this go round.

What got Mcgriff into the HOF were the HR's. His other stats would leave him far short. Mattingly probably will not.

This nails it. That idiotic decision for Baines should open the floodgates for so many players. Having Baines over a Keith Hernandez, for example, is embarrassing.

Meanwhile, it continues to be just as embarrassing the hit job these dolts are doing on Schilling.

Was a much better fielder than McGiff who was a 5 time All-Star and was an MVP of the All-Star game

Mattingly 6X All-Star, AL MVP, 9X Gold Glove and Batting Title champ

Sorry better numbers overall just a shorter career due to injuries

If McGriff makes it,

you have to also induct Tom Emanski as a coach.
