And says that Bagwell, at least to stat geeks, is a no brainer.

Larry Walker is surprisingly strong as a HOF candidate. (As noted in the article, the BBWA may “ding” him for hitting in Coors for part of his career.) One reason I bring this up, is that Larry Walker is Lance Berkman’s nearest comparable at BBRef.

Just to be clear, when I say nearest comparable, I mean closest similarity score at the same age.

That photo of Bags

gets quite of bit of usage.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

The more postive word of mouth about Bagwell the better

I guess I have an inferiority complex about the world appreciating the Astros and its players. I worry Bagwell will be underappreciated by the East Coast and northern writers.

While I think it would be cool to see Bagwell and Biggio enter the HOF together, the thought of Jeff Bagwell making it on the first ballot really excites me.

Astros fan for life

While there’d be something heartwarming about seeing them go into the Hall together, my final verdict is kind of selfish…I need a good reason to convince my wife to go to the HOF with me, and having two separate occassions doubles my odds.

I love this line
It would be cool to see someone wearing a batting helmet instead of a ballcap on their plaque in Cooperstown.
