In his day Griffey was pretty damn good. Just saying. As was Jim Edmonds. ...and that is why I said MOST of the others... <g> My first glove had the Richie Ashburn sig in the pocket. LONG time ago... My first glove had it as well! |

In his day Griffey was pretty damn good. Just saying. As was Jim Edmonds. kenny lofton probably is 2nd 10 at best in the eyes of many, but I think he had top 10 stats at the plate, in the field and on the bases. below is from mlb.com on some should/could be hof's; By the numbers, Lofton has a real Hall of Fame case, but he might have been hurt by being a contact hitter and speedster in a power-hitting age. His 622 stolen bases rank 15th all-time, and he led the AL in steals five straight seasons from 1992-96 while leading the Majors three of those years. Lofton made six straight All-Star teams from '94-99 and placed in the MVP voting four times, finishing as high as fourth. He was an excellent defender, winning four straight Gold Glove Awards in center field from 1993-96. Lofton's 68.4 career WAR ranks ninth all-time among center fielders. He's one of only nine players with 600 career steals and 600 extra-base hits; he's the only one not in the Hall of Fame Lofton was one of my favorites as well...especially when he was traded to the Braves, and then came back as a FA the next year. |

My goal back then was to be the white Willie Mays. Told that to a black officer having dinner at our house one night, my mother still laughs about it. |

Forgot about Lofton…another great CF. Hell of a basketball player too, pretty sure he played in the Final Four one year. |

I wonder how many guys have accomplished that perfecta; world series + final 4. How's this for unlikely "...two people have somehow done it: Tim Stoddard and Kenny Lofton. Even crazier? They went to the SAME high school: East Chicago Washington High School in Indiana."www.mlb.com/news/players-who-played-in-final-four-world-series?msockid=3af0e57a36116c6b09f9f07437836df1 |
