http://www.santoforhall.com A tribute to and petition for Ron Santo to be inducted in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:01:37 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.santoforhall.com/2009/06/20/will-tim-raines-ever-make-the-hall-of-fame-and-if-so-when-2008-is-his-first-year-of-eligibility-and-i/ http://www.santoforhall.com/2009/06/20/will-tim-raines-ever-make-the-hall-of-fame-and-if-so-when-2008-is-his-first-year-of-eligibility-and-i/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:38:04 +0000 Scott Lewis http://www.santoforhall.com/2009/06/20/will-tim-raines-ever-make-the-hall-of-fame-and-if-so-when-2008-is-his-first-year-of-eligibility-and-i/ don’t see him making it for at least 3 or 4 tries. Many other players need to get in first, like Goose, Bert, Andre Dawson, Jim Rice, Ron Santo, just to name a few. In 23 seasons from 1979-2002, Raines had, 2,605 hits, 1,571 runs, 430 DB’s, 113 3B’s (wow), 170 HR, 980 RBI’s, 808 SB (wow), 1,330 BB, and .294 BA (wow). Also played on 2 championship yankee teams, 96 and 98. 7 time all star, 1 batting title.
I say yes, what do you say?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Raineshttp://www.baseball-reference.com/r/rain…

This subject keeps coming up, but frankly, I dont see him as a HOFer.

He was one heck of a ball player. He played in a total of 15 seasons between 1956-1971, but he played the lionshare of his career in 12 seasons from 1958-1969 with the St. Louis Cardinals. Flood had 1,861 hits, and batted .293. I know that a lot more players are more deserving to get into the Hall on the Vet Committe votes, like Ron Santo, Bert Blyleven, Tommy John, Jim Kaat, etc, but Flood deserves another look, don’t you agree?http://www.baseball-reference.com/f/floo…
