Crime Dog In The HOF

Question

Excellent decision from the Contemporary Players Committee to elect McGriff to the Hall of Fame.

This guy was one of the most reliable sources of power during an era (late 80s to early 90s) where HRs weren't what they are today (abundant). And later in his career when he was not on par with the top shelf sluggers, you have to respect his ability to work a walk to get on base. Stud hitter with power to all fields, and a career BA north of .280. Loving the admittance. cool
