re: Congrats to BaseVOL Todd Helton on MLB Hall of Fame!

There are currently 303 members of the MLB Hall of Fame Batting Registry. Of those, over half (157) have career batting averages below .287.

So, let's eliminate anyone from the HOF with a batting average of .287 or below. See ya, David Ortiz (.286), Yogi Berra (.285), Ryan Sandberg (.285), Carl Yastrzemski (.285), Ken Griffey Jr. (.284), Fred McGriff (.284), Roy Campanella (.283), Dave Winfield (.283), Willie Stargell (.282), Rickey Henderson (.279), Cal Ripken Jr. (.276), Willie McCovey (.270), Carlton Fisk (.269), Pee Wee Reese (.269), Johnny Bench (.267), Brooks Robinson (.267), Ozzie Smith (.262).

All of these players had batting averages below what Helton had AWAY from Coors Field. They were just horrible hitters, I guess.

Oof, indeed.

It will be interesting watching him scramble to move the field goal post on this one. He might suggest that none of those players belong opposed to admitting he was wrong.
