Yeah it was a little tongue in cheek there.

Good not Great, as was Larry Nance and Ron Harper. Austin Carr another good one.

I don't care what anyone says Mark Price was a great player. The best free throw shooter ever. He was undersized and beat on every game and was still one of the best jump shooters in the last 20 years. He could actually make shots inside the 3 point line, something that is pretty much extinct for players that shoot 3's now.

Had Brad Daugherty not had disc surgery to end his career he could easily be penciled in as great..

See the Eddie Murray rule, his GREATNESS came before his trip backhome to help out with the Miracle of Richfield.

carter wasn't unrespected in cleveland. in fact, when he was traded to the padres, which was just after he had just opened a restaurant in cleveland, there was a lot of uproar in the community regarding his departure (he was seen as about all that the tribe had at that point). in the long run, in spite of carter's world series homer, i think that cleveland ended up better off, picking up sandy alomar, jr. and carlos baerga in the deal.

To me, the hall of fame recognizes greatness. And even then, I have problem with some of the players that have been voted into their respective halls of fame lately.

Having said that, I think names like Thome, Belle, Price, Mathews, Kosar and others are not Hall of Fame material in my book. Very good and productive players...but not great!

I loved Price, Mathews and others for they way they played the game. I'd take them on my team anyday. I just think we have way too many guys getting into their respective halls of fame.

I think the LPGA has it right. They have a formula on tournaments won, plus majors won that makes them eligible for their hall.

JUUUUUU-LIOOOOOO!!!!

He's the reason I'm a Rangers fan. I think in addition to the playing in Cleveland thing, he was a bit of a defensive liability and hit into alot of DP's, but you're probably more right about the Cleveland thing re: MVP voting.

When Franco was traded to Texas, I became a Rangers fan, but still had an interest in the Indians. When they traded Joe Carter, I was pretty much done with Cleveland altogether. (When they moved into Jacobs Field, I think that was it for me completely.)

I meant that those players got no respect from the national media while the players were in Cleveland unis and then they move on and are regarded as great. We (Cleveland fans/Clevelanders) knew all along they were great.
