Bert Blyleven deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Agree?

Would like to see Blyleven get some of McGwire votes and get voted in this year.

287 wins, over 50 shutouts, over 3000 K's, one of the best curveballs of all time...What the hell's keeping him out??

he sells crack cocaine now!:smoker2:

damn shame he didnt get in..

Sorry, I disagree with you guys...good pitcher, great career numbers but never dominate in my opinion. I believe that a hall of famer needs great career numbers and either a few seasons of dominance or a few championship rings. I disagree with Don Sutton and Jim Rice getting in also. I would like to see Alomar in.
April is less than two months away.!!!

So than why wouldn't Blylevin get in with his 2 Championships. I think this is would be referred to as a "few championship rings". This completely defeats your whole argument.

1984...19-7 with with a 2.87era That is not dominate? He had a career 3.31 ERA. Cmon Man. How can you dog that. If he had 13 more wins he would have been in on the first ballot.

Alomar was never dominant, was very good, but not great....Plus he spit in an umpire's face...

HAPPY 63rd BERT

Bummer that we couldn't find a thread from when Burt was playing--2010...that's too bad

Still remember when Chuck tanner referred to him as "Burt Cryleven."
