Blylevin should be in the HOF. He also won 15 games by a score of 1-0, that's third all-time. 13th in career IP, 11th in GS, and 9th in SHO.
Alomar, Tommy John (288 career wins), and Jack Morris (incredible post seasons) should all be in also.
My only problem with Larkin is that his numbers are so close to Dave Concepcion's. Both played SS their entire career in the Queen City, both played the games the right way, and were fan favorites. Ozzie Smith is in the HOF an his stats are similar to both....Here's the stats:
Hits- Larkin 2,340 - Concepcion 2,326 - Smith 2,460
Avg.- Larkin .295 - Concepcion .267 - Smith .262
2B- Larkin 441 - Concepcion 389 - Smith 402
HR- Larkin 198 - Concepcion 101 - Smith 28
RBI- Larkin 960 - Concepcion 950 - Smith 793
SB - Larkin 379 - Concepcion 321 - Smith 580
Runs - Larkin 1,329 - Concepcion 993 - Smith 1,257
Gold Gloves - Larkin 3 - Concepcion 5 - Smith 13
All-Star - Larkin 12, Concepcion 9 - Smith 14
I wish they would both get in! They were two of the greatest SS to ever play the game. Had Ozzie Smith not arived on the scene, Concepcion would have won SEVERAL more Gold Gloves.
