No. Vada Pinson, Jim Rice, Tony Oliva, Gil Hodges, and even Jose Canseco were all better players. There's talk that this year is the year for Oliva and Hodges through the Vet's Committee. Hope so.
I always forget about Hodges and Pinson. I agree on those two but I'm just not sure about Canseco. In his prime he was great, no doubt about that, but he became a cartoon character his last few years and I think that will spoil his getting in. He might make it with the veterans committee. It's hard to believe Hodges still isn't in. I wonder who he made mad?
