July 9, 201214 yr According to Reggie Jackson. Bert Blyleven also made Reggie's list. http://m.nydailynews.com/1.1110264
July 9, 201214 yr Ease up Wally, it wasn't a personal attack on Carter. Does Reggie think anyone besides him is good enough for the HOF?
July 9, 201214 yr DON'T TALK BAD ABOUT PUCK! But hey Reggie, nevermind that in the 12 years he played before the morning he basically woke up blind he amassed 48.2 career WAR, won six Gold Gloves, six Silver Sluggers, 10 all-star selections and two World Series rings, I'm sure he's just lousy. He also retired with a lifetime .318 average, which was the best for an AL right-handed batter since Joe DiMaggio. It's especially impressive next to Reggie's lifetime .262, which doesn't put him even in the top 1000 hitters with more than 3000 plate appearances. But hey, those five World Series titles match perfectly the five times Reggie led the league in strikeouts. What a putz.
July 10, 201214 yr Apparently Reggie doesn't want to hang out with any of them at the next induction ceremony.
July 10, 201214 yr Would love to be a fly on the wall when Jim Rice and the "King of K's" meet. From '75 to '86 Rice was the most feared batter in the Majors, bar none. Little trivia.....Who is the ONLY player in Major League history to have 3 consecutive seasons with at least: 200 hits, 100 runs scored, 35 or more HR's, 100 or more RBI's, & hit .315 or better..........Jim Rice '77, '78, & '79.

July 10, 201214 yr That nobody is as good as he was Hah. The more I think about it, the more ludicrous this gets. Phil Niekro? You mean the guy who has 91.2 career WAR, which puts him TENTH on the all time list among pitchers? The guy whose career ERA is about five one-hundredths of a point higher than Jim Bunning, Catfish Hunter, and Bob Feller?
July 10, 201214 yr Hah. The more I think about it, the more ludicrous this gets. Phil Niekro? You mean the guy who has 91.2 career WAR, which puts him TENTH on the all time list among pitchers? The guy whose career ERA is about five one-hundredths of a point higher than Jim Bunning, Catfish Hunter, and Bob Feller? I know. Never been a big fan of Reggie.
July 10, 201214 yr I think Reggie's overall point is correct. What's his overall point? That "I must kill the Queen."
