    Tom Daly

    Tom Daly played ball from 1887 to 1903, mostly as a second baseman but he also spent considerable time at catcher. Over those 16 years, he collected 1582 hits, stole 385 bases and hit .278. In 1901, he led the league in doubles with 38.

    Daly hit over .300 in six of his 16 seasons, and he is statistically similar to one Hall of Famer: Phil Rizzuto.

    So...should Tom Daly be in the Hall of Fame?

    Not a chance.
    "Here's a crazy thought I've always had: if they cut three fingers off each hand, I'd really be a great hitter because then I could level off better." Paul Waner (lifetime .333 hitter, 3,152 lifetime hits.

        Um, wow.

        This one is a bottom-barrel scraper. An emphatic no. Or maybe an anti-Rizzuto argument at best. Or an anti-similar player argument.

            Never stopped Cowtipper before
            Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.
