Which is why I dont understand where Jack Morris has any HOF case at all.

Thanks for both the humorous answer and the answer I was looking for. Much appreciated!

Do you know the highest ERA for a pitcher elected as a pitcher?

At least Wes Farrell has his bat.

The player with the most reasonable HOF case with a most low BA is Darrell Evans.

Was Ruffing elected as something else? :confused:

At least Wes Farrell has his bat.

And he pitched in a much higher offensive era than Morris did.

Which is why I dont understand where Jack Morris has any HOF case at all.Pitching in a DH league adds about half a run to a pitcher's ERA, if I recall correctly.

Learn something every day. I would have guessed Harmon Killebrew but he compiled .256.

The player with the most reasonable HOF case with a most low BA is Darrell Evans.

How many decimal places?
To three places Nettles and Evans are both at .248.
