Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 5181378, member: 285"] Now that he’s gone the gambling is almost another reason to put him in, because it was a HUGE story at the time and brought huge change to the way professional players and gambling was monitored forever. It wouldn’t be a “good” piece of his legacy, but a huge piece nonetheless. And then there’s the All Time Hits leader thing. A National League MVP. Three World Series championships and 17x All Star. Wait! [B]17x [/B]All Star………. And who can forget that back in the day he was guy that amateur coaches used to like to hold up to their players as playing the game the right way... Ran out every ball he put in play and always motoring on the field..... There's a reason he was Charlie Hustle. Once he's passed it's no longer an "Honor" for him, but his legacy is a HUGE reflection of the game over a LONG period of time. And all this from a Yankees Fan?!?!?!?!? [/QUOTE]
