Dawson was a mediocre fielder who hit over 300 only 5 times and over 35 homers only once. Not all that impressive for a guy who got in for his offense.

If Dawson deserves this, then they ought to kick the door wide open and let every "power" hitter with 10 yrs experience in.... Shameful.

8 Gold Gloves a mediocre fielder?? I saw him often from the right field stands in Wrigley...he was awesome.

He once hit a line drive that couldn’t have been more than 10 feet off the ground that hit the center field wall...he had excellent power!!
