flavum Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 When the guy said there were 4 new on the one ballot, I guessed Minoso, Hodges, Kaat, and Allen. Oliva was deserving too. Hopefully Dick Allen will get in too someday. But my lord, enough with putting dead people in. Figure out who belongs per era, put them in while they can enjoy it with their family, and move on.

What a shame Minnie couldn't have seen this day. Anyone who didn't vote for Allen must not have seen him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) 26 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: This. Yep. Appreciated Tony Oliva and Jim Kaat as players. In addition to Dick Allen, John Donaldson was also worthy of induction with this HOF inductee class. John McGraw who managed for decades called John the greatest he'd ever seen. John Donaldson lived his post baseball career here, passed in Cook County Hospital, and is buried in Alsip (Burr Oak).

pcq Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Sox had a weird history of trading their star players. Minnie Louie Harold Nellie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That late 60s, early 70s era was so offensively challenged that for some reason a lot of guys that should have been obvious took forever to get in, or never did. 30 homers a season then is like 50 today. A .270 average is .300 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Anyone who could make wearing a helmet in the field look cool deserves to be in the HOF for that alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) So happy to see Minnie get in, but so sad he was not put in while he was alive! Kaat well deserved also. Edited December 6, 2021 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 With the addition of Kaat, the 1982 season now has 43 future hall of famers. That’s kind of a lot. Baines, Morris, Trammell, Lee Smith, Ted Simmons got in on committee votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 400 wins. Great scout. Another man who broke barriers while with the Sox. But hearing them announce Minnie was even better than Frank.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 So happy Minnie is finally in - should have happened years ago. Once of the nicest players I have ever met. You could tell how much he loved the game and the White Sox. Cannot believe that Allen continues to get screwed over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Allen not making the hall is afucking joke. Didn’t he have the highest ops from 1964 to1974 of any player? . And for the racial crap he had to put up with he should be a lock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
