Didn’t Baines get in from a veterans committee, not a traditional vote?

Played the same position at the same time as Jr. Never was considered the best at his position during his career.

KL was the best all around center fielder / leadofd man of the 85-2000 era. He could field and run like KGJ, but was much healthier. Lacked the same power , but rarely struck out. Guy was a warrior everyday in the line up. LGJ was twice as good in his healthiest day, but KL played everyday for almost 20 years.

Because he was a clean player in the steroid era. Lofton was pretty much the exact same player as Tim Raines. The difference is Raines' numbers look better in comparison to his peers because his peak happened in the '80s before PEDs infiltrated the game while Lofton's prime occurred during the '90s when PEDs were rampant.

He was betting on games, while he was the manager of the team, that he was betting on.


Just think how wrong that is, on so many levels.


I did ask my wife to buy me this for Christmas,
