My initial guess was Andres Gallaraga along with McGriff, but he falls ONE HR shy.

But sheesh, 442 dingers were not quite a third of Kingman's 1500+ hits.

Read one rip on Dawson. 30 HRs and 100 rbi's 3 times each.

McGriff Drove in 100 + 8 times, 30 + 10 times.

So how is Dawson better? Oh, yeah, one, a Cubbie, 2, a former MVP.

Darrell Evans.

Never even got a sniff of the HOF.

Besides being a me me me player, what else has he done to deserve HOF consideration?

Yup. Surprising, eh? Rec'd 1.7% HOF vote or something.

??

Are you thinking of Dwight Evans, referring to the 'feared' Jim Rice?


Darrell Evans had one mostrous year in ATL(41HR/104RBI/124BB) and some others that weren't too bad.

He must be....none of Darrell's premier teammates (Whitaker, Trammel or Morris) are in the HOF.

At the end of the day, I don't think either should be in -- but with Rice and Dawson in, the door has been opened for the argument that Evans should be in as well.

Status: offline 		I remember Evans as the first guy who raised eyebrows with his HR totals from the second-base spot.
Had a year (think its covered above) in Atlanta that made every fan go .... "whaaa?"
It was Brady Anderson before Brady Anderson.
He was always a tough out, always DROVE the ball, and played a solid defense.
He's also a part of my favorite all-time Twins play ... being picked off third by The Rat, right after the broadcast crew proclaimed ... "here come the TIGERS!"
12 seconds later ... they were toast.

I have is Braves baseball card after that monster year. Was an awesome year.


Dawson and Rice have now made it the Hall of Very Good.

If some of these guys can't get in now, it's a joke.

 The answer is a rather obvious choice for the time and era.....but even if it has presumably been verified, so many home runs have never nor can be properly measured.
