[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1619590, member: 29101"] I really don't understand this reasoning. We can discuss WAR all we want. Sosa had 9,900 ABs, 2,408 hits, 609 homers, 1,667 RBIs, and 1,475 runs scored. His BA was .273 which isn't great but OK. That's a HOF career. To say Larry Walker deserves to be in the HOF over Sosa is kind of amazing. He put up the bulk of his numbers playing for the Rockies in the launching pad that is Coors Field, and his career numbers really aren't close to Sosa's. I think he did have 1,500-1,600 fewer ABs than Sosa. If you want to keep Sosa out for the steroids taint and getting caught once with a corked bat, OK. But not based on numbers. [/QUOTE]
