Harold Baines Had Impact, An Important Consideration

Certainly voting regarding the Baseball Hall of Fame stirs some great debates.

Usually, I am of the view that a good number of players who attain “Hall” status, are excellent players, but well short of that quality needed to make The Baseball Hall of Fame.

Recently Harold Baines made the “Hall” and many are of the very strong opinion he is nowhere near deserving of that honor.

I opine that while he is not necessarily of great Hall of Fame quality, he was a tremendous hitter, one who struck fear into ANYONE on the other side.

Harold Baines had impact, that alone merits consideration and certainly more respect than he is getting.
