HM
Willie Horton- Wimpy with a thunder stick. How many homers did he hit on Tuesdays?
Tim McCarver- Underrated defensive stalwart, almost as good in the booth as he thought he was
J.R. Richard- Could be ranked with the best, depending on how liberal you are with your definition of peak
Bernie Carbo- If peak meant one atbat
John Hiller- Thanks for making me paranoid about chest pains when I was eight years old
Results:
Somehow it seems appropriate that these two should go in together.
14 ballots; the results:
193 Willie McCovey
81 Orlando Cepeda
