Does he get the votes without the milestone?

He's in now.

Does he get votes? You're kidding right? Surely you jest?

 

Thomas is a HOFER no matter what he does this season, or even last season for that matter. His run in the 90's--without a whiff of 'roids suspicion--is one of the greatest offensive production runs ever. By modern definitions of success like OBP and OPS--he is way over the necessary barriers to get into the hall. He was a monster at the plate, and average defensively--although I always laughed at his throwing motion.

 

Thomas will go down as one of the greatest hitters of all time.

FT needs 500 because of all the injuries and I hope he get 500

I don't think he needs the 500. He's one of the all-time greats. His only problem is with the media and some teammates

Realizing we are in the era of sabermetrics, and knowing he did play defense for the first 8-10 years of his career, and also having the cababilitiy to play defense until mid-2004, there is not a chance in hell Thomas is not a Hall of Famer. I don't care about his attitude or these injuries and hard times at the end of his career, if he's not a Hall of Famer, playing the game with no unnatural boost whatsoever, I will have lost a lot of respect for the game.
