It really takes away a lot of their value, though. It puts them on par with someone like Carlos Lee.

Wow, great wiffle ball game for me. 4 IP, 2 outs per IP game. I get 8 k's and only give up one hit. I win 1-0 on a home run I hit in the 4th. My slider is the best pitch ever thrown. Unfortunately, my fastball, sinker and cutter need work. Fcuk the curveball and knuckler, tehy're for losers who I crush.

If he gets to 500, then he is a lock. [/ QUOTE ] Up to now, no major leaguer has ever retired with 500 homers and not made the hall. Think about this, though...it'll take Sheff another 2 or 3 years to reach .500 (barring injury). If he retires in 3 years, he's another 5 years from Hall eligibility. So we're talking 8 years minimum before voters have to decide whether or not he's eligible. Will reaching 500 homers be considered a "lock" in 8 years? The way balls are flying out of parks these days, I have my doubts. The new bar might be 600 in 8 years. 500 might be considered as a marginal qualification to get into the HOF in 2013...but with the other baggage that Sheff is carrying around, it might not be enough. |

How do you strike out 8/9 batters in wiffle ball?

Haha, if Sheff gets to 475 I think that he will get in.
Look at his other offensive stats. They are fantastic. And look at this: 1992-NL-3-0.61 1996-NL-6-0.29 2000-NL-9-0.16 2002-NL-17-0.01 2003-NL-3-0.55 2004-AL-2-0.65 |

Jim Rice. [/ QUOTE ] I actually agree with this, although I hate the prick. His numbers justify induction. |

See post above.
Sheffield will also end up having more hits and already has more HR's than Rice. Maybe Rice was hurt by the fact that he played 25% of his games at DH. |
