January 9, 201214 yr 12 time All Star, 3 Gold Gloves, MVP, 9 Silver Slugger, 1st 30 /30 SS, World Series winner, on the forefront of changing how people view SS as an offensive threat versus defensive position only, rated by Bill James as one of the 10 most complete players of all time in baseball history and ranked as the 6th best SS of all time by James, clearly a dominate player in his era. He truly is one of the best offensive SS of all time and the 3 Gold Gloves show he also was great defensively. Enough said. He should definitely get in. NO questions.
January 9, 201214 yr Barry Larkin has been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame!!! 86% of the votes!
January 9, 201214 yr Think Bagwell deserves it too, but Barry was the only elected member. Morris fell just short at 67% of the vote.

January 9, 201214 yr Definitely well-deserved. He's a great addition to the Hall. I still don't understand how people vote the way they do. Larkin goes from 12 percent short one year to 11 percent over the threshold the next. Whatever...

January 9, 201214 yr The Reds posted a picture of Barry on their Facebook page at 3:00pm sharp with a caption reading, "Congratulations to Barry Larkin on his induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame! LIKE this to congratulate him." 41 minutes later and there are already 10,655 "likes".
January 9, 201214 yr Agreed. From my recollection his 2011 season was one of his worst ever at the plate. Are you kidding me? Nobody could get him out this past year...plus, he didn't have a single error! Hard to top that!!
January 9, 201214 yr Are you kidding me? Nobody could get him out this past year...plus, he didn't have a single error! Hard to top that!! But his counting stats were down tremendously from career averages.
January 9, 201214 yr But his counting stats were down tremendously from career averages. Touche. But, in all seriousness...this is the absolute one thing about the HOF that drives me nuts. How a guy who hasn't done anything can gain votes from year to year is insane.
