mark grace should be in the hall of fame

blueedwards · Mar 8, 2006

he had the most hits of anyone in the 1990's and, if ever there was a player who did not use steroids, its him:

Good clutch hitter too and a well above average defensive 1B.

One of my all-time favorite MLB players.

he's in my hall of fame just for marrying janine turner.

she was on general hospital back in the 80's ..

real hot...

Canseco on Grace....

"Mark Grace defined a slump-buster as the 'fattest, gnarliest chick you can uncover, & you lay the wood to her.'

WorldNumberOne · Mar 8, 2006

well done fish... one of your best posts ever.

she is a hottie ..

i'm not sure if they are still together or not.

Blue, don't piss me off. Will Clark was twice the 1st baseman. I don't care how many hits or how great an interview he was. I'm trying to think of the defining moment of the Mark Grace Era but I'm coming up empty.

i was going to bring up will clark as well when i saw the start of this thread.
clark hands down was better than grace. too bad giants decided to keep robbie thompson instead of will clark. huge mistake.

WorldNumberOne · Mar 8, 2006

will clark was pretty awesome..

i'm sure he was laughing his ass off about the palmeiro thing.

those 2 cant stand each other .

Journeyman · Mar 8, 2006

I would compare Grace to Palmeiro (without steroids)

blueedwards · Mar 8, 2006

i really dont think gracey should be in the hall...just making a point about steroids. here is a guy who was just a ballplayer. didnt even lift weights at all. a great hitter and good fielder. he is not a hall of famer.

journeyman is right...he and palmeiro were very similar when they came up. one decided to use steroids and hit 500 homeruns...the other didn't.

i'd take grace any day.

will clark was better when will was in his prime. grace was better longer.

Comparison of another Non Steroid Using 1st baseman:

MARK GRACE
16 Seasons
173 home runs
1146 RBIS
.303 BA
4 Gold Gloves

DON MATTINGLY
14 Seasons
222 Home Runs
1099 RBIs
.307 BA
9 Gold Gloves
1985 AL MVP

Thought 'no way' when I read this title, but he may have a case,didn't know career stats were that good. Mattingly by comparison is a no=brainer so Grace at least gets consideration.

Journeyman · Mar 8, 2006

I wouldn't say he was as great as Mattingly was. But he played longer.

blueedwards · Mar 8, 2006

no question...mattingly was better.

docmercer--banned · Mar 8, 2006

Big question: did Garvey / Cey do the juice???

WVU · Mar 8, 2006

1146 RBIs should get any player in, regardless of his position. He will get in because everyone likes him as well as his numbers

GreenDoberman · Mar 8, 2006

Let me beat a dead horse here...
The first power hitter from the 80s/90s who should be inducted should be none other than the "Crime Dog" Fred McGriff.
