Bernie has actually been one of the biggest 2nd amendment supporters his whole time in Congress.

Re: MLB 2019
The Yankees retired Bernie Williams' number? Really? He was pretty much the definition of "very good" but worthy of retiring his number? Doubtful.

Scooter Rizzuto, too (minus the jazz). Solid defensive SS, but HoF and retired number? Get outta here. It's cos of his endearing personality.Flex wrote: ↑03 Dec 2019, 8:46pm100% on personalityDr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Dec 2019, 7:54pmThe Yankees retired Bernie Williams' number? Really?

Re: MLB 2019
If HoFs are (or should be) just 100% on-field performance, those two shouldn't get into a club or mlb HoF. But increasingly, I think the admittence definition should center around "did they kindle our love.of the game?" whether it be through pure on field performance or some combination of qualities. By that standard, I think Bernie gets it for his club.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Dec 2019, 9:05pmScooter Rizzuto, too (minus the jazz). Solid defensive SS, but HoF and retired number? Get outta here.

Re: MLB 2019
I agree that this kind of stuff shouldn't be cold stat-based arguments, but I just think about Bernie's career and nothing about it suggests “retire his number,” even if we don't measure it against the obscene historic talent of that club. He was never the best player on his team—was he ever a top 3 guy on his team, in performance or fan love?—so it seems like cheapening the honour of retiring his number. Seems like he's benefiting from the fetishization of the late 90s clubs (i mean, hell, Posada has his number retired, too).Flex wrote: ↑03 Dec 2019, 9:40pmIf HoFs are (or should be) just 100% on-field performance, those two shouldn't get into a club or mlb HoF.
