Raines, Trammell Deserve Better Hall Balloting

Submitted by David, Jan 4, 2008 14:56

"and during his long prime he had many years in which he hit as well as David Wright usually does." Wha? 1987 aside, Trammell never slugged .500 or reached 300 Total Bases. He topped 20 HRs only twice. You make a good case for Trammell to receive as much recognition as Rice; but ultimately, neither are deserving of enshrinement.
