O's Hall of Fame

I will archive and stow away this post for my records and save it for that momentous day that Moose is enshrined....and he informs us of the hat that will be on his plague.

I don't think Mussina is making the HOF. No Cy Youngs, no championships.

You may be waiting a long, long time.

The Hall of Fame picks the hat, and have since 2001. They consider the player's input, but a committee makes the ultimate selection.




(If anyone were to archive and stow all of your posts with asinine, likely to be wrong predictions, they'd run out of disk space in a week.)

if he makes the HOF, it will be interesting to see what hat he chooses to be depicted in. ultimately, the hall makes the decision, but in this case they will probably ask him his preference since his career was pretty evenly split.

with that said, his best years (statistically speaking) were with the O's. since he never won the CY award and was never on a WS champion, his stat's will be a determining factor. but the hall will also look at the team for which he had the biggest impact. he lead the O's to the post season in 97 & 98. they don't get there w/o him. NY was already a fixture in the post season. they would have made it without him.

advantage- Baltimore

Edit * 96 & 97

Mussina
10yrs w/Bal 147-81, .645%, ERA 3.53, 45 CG, 15 SHO, 2009.2 IP, 1535 K
8yrs w/NYY 123-72 .631% ERA 3.88, 12 CG, 8 SHO, 1553 IP, 1278 K

Only a worthless POS could suggest Mussina would go in as a NYY

And don't forget....
10yrs w/Bal 2 post season appearances

8yrs w/NYY 7 post season appearances

I deign to say that that stat might have some.....uh....worth.

Why would we want a Yankee in our HoF?

Why would we want an idiot on this board?

As weird-o has already pointed out...the Orioles likely don't make the postseason without him. The Yankees do.

Lots of pitchers have 20 win seasons and aren't in the Hall of fame. Bob Welch won 27 games in a season, won a Cy Young, and was on 2 World Series winners and got 0.2% of the vote in his first year of eligibility. That's one vote. Same as Bruce Hurst and one less than Steve Sax.

Ron Guidry, three 20 win seasons (including a 25-3), a Cy Young (and a 2nd and a 3rd), two World Series wins, never got more than 8.8% of the vote.

Will Mussina make it to the Hall? Maybe. If he does, he'll probably squeak in with 75.1% or so.

[Han Solo]

Also remember Mussina pitched a lot of his career in the "steroid era".

Just imagine how much better his stats would have been.

Or how bad they may have been. Who's to say he wasn't juicing?

Brady, Raffy, BRob, Miggy. Wiggy, Bigbie...

exactly

and you forgot Segui

[Han Solo]

I think it's a stretch to think that he could have been juicing. He could have but I doubt it. His name has never come up at all anywhere, in any publication that i've ever read.

All the players you guys have mentioned have been speculated or proven to be guilty by sources that have been made public.To my knowledge Mussina never has by anyone.

Maybe he was just that good.

I'm dumb to say that that stat might have some.....uh....worth.

I see you're just as dumb about baseball as you are about football.
While Mussina can state his preference to the Hall, the Hall, not Mussina decides which hat he wears.

Dollars to dozens I bet I can predict what that preference will be.
