I kinda like this HOF criteria from an ESPN chat on Blylevin.

Posted by TFox Jan 7 '09, 17:27

Gary, NH: When you were younger did you ever open a pack of baseball cards, pull a Blyleven, and say "Yes he's awesome". I sure didn't.

Caple sort of likes that as an initial litmus test, and I don't hate it either.

he was so so awesome in the original RBI Baseball. -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 17:37

- To your point: I don't disagree on inducting Blylevin, and he is before I would have collected cards or really liked baseball. -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 17:47 2
  - (And Caple is voting for Blylevin too. It was just the concept that intrigued him.) -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 17:48 1

- Bruce Sutter was awesome. So was Phil Niekro. -- nm - the liioulu with overdue books Jan 7, 17:35 6

    - "With 318 career victories, Niekro is the most successful knuckleball pitcher of all time" - the liioulu with overdue books Jan 7, 17:46 4
      - Add in he was 49 when he retired, it only took hiim like 26 years to get there. - Will Hunting Jan 7, 17:55 3
        
        Knuckleball pitcher. That's how he lasted so long. It's the toughest pitch to master. - the liioulu with overdue books Jan 7, 18:11 2
        
        Just about any measure though, being the best knuckleballer ever isn't that great - Will Hunting Jan 7, 18:28 1
        
        How many knuckleballers are there? And why? Because the pitch is tough to master. - the liioulu with overdue books Jan 7, 18:32
