Re: Gary Sheffield, future HOF\'er?
It really takes away a lot of their value, though. It puts them on par with someone like Carlos Lee.

Re: Gary Sheffield, future HOF\'er?
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.

Re: Gary Sheffield, future HOF\'er?
How do you strike out 8/9 batters in wiffle ball?

Re: Gary Sheffield, future HOF\'er?
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

Re: Gary Sheffield, future HOF\'er?
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.
