Detroit isn’t going to be happy with this . . . They were looking for Jack Whitaker to be elected.

Ted Simmons was a good catcher, but HOF. This isn’t supposed to be the “Hall of Good Statistics”.

I thought a better case could be made for Sweet Lou, but I sure won’t say Simmons doesn’t deserve it.

Marvin Miller deserves to be in the HOF.

Marvin Miller: nope. Ted Simmons: nope.

MLB needs to be more careful about the HofF. Hopefully Bonds and Clemens will remain excluded.

MLB baseball tickets increased 40% in ten years. I blame Marvin Miller.
Albert Pujols has earned $285,040,436 by playing baseball. I blame Marvin Miller.

Marvin Miller is famous for helping Curt Flood in 1969. The problem was owner control like in Hollywood. Marvin’s solution was free agency. As a result, MLB is tax exempt like a religion. Unethical.

Ted Simmons, according to Baseball Reference, has a Hall of Fame score of 44 where average is 50. Thus, Simmons was excellent but below the average of others in the Hall of Fame.
