Dick Groat is a Hall of Famer????
Oh, right,... shortstop.
Only shortstops with .282 averages and no power make it to the HOF. No-one else does. I’m not disagreeing with Groat; Rizzuto is also in the Hall of Fame, and their numbers are similar. I love Rizzuto for his broadcasting, but both are two old for me to have judged their play in person.
Groat WAS A BETTER BASKETBALL PLAYER than a baseball player.
He was a stellar basketball player at Duke and there was a time when pro basketball wanted him to play both sports in the same year.
