Handwritten letter about what it means to be in the Hall
Rollie Fingers writes what it means to him to be in the Hall of Fame. The handwritten letter reads in part, “I sit at induction ceremonies with Koufax, Gibson, Ford, Feller, Mays, Robinson, all players I idolized as a kid and now to have my name in the same sentence as these players is something you can’t explain. Being honored as a Hall of Famer means you were the best at what you did and that your dreams came true.”
No they should not be categorized as CY Young candidates. Mr. Young was/is the epitomy of endurance. Relievers have an award- Fireman of the Year.
Interesting point of view. It seems many would agree with you, Brett. Thanks for checking out the site!
