About which Hall of Famer did Bill James say "If you could split him in two, you'd have two Hall of Famers."
Administrative Note:
We have an opening for the Atlanta franchise. If you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to put him in contact with Michael or myself.

I believe that was Barry Bonds. Well, somebody said that about Barry Bonds anyway. IIRC it's because his career WAR is 2x the average HOFer.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good guess, Tom, but unfortunately incorrect. The correct answer is someone who is already a Hall of Famer, which Bonds is not.

Babe Ruth
ReplyDeleteAgain, a good guess (and if he'd said it about Ruth, it would certainly be appropriate), but no, it was not Babe Ruth.
