Why is Ozzie Smith in the baseball Hall of Fame and Alan Trammell is not? Check out the career stats!?

Question:

Answers:

After the first few weeks, which NL and AL teams look more World Series material?

Trammell had the bad timing to play concurrent with Ozzie, who redefined how shortstop could be played defensively, and Ripken, who showed that SS could be a power player. Alan was okay at both but not superstar-class at either. He has deserved better in the voting but probably never will get it.

I think Larkin might similarly get dismissed, and he's Hall worthy too. Right when he should have taken the shortstop spotlight -- Ozzie retired, Cal past Gehrig and on his long, graceful ride home -- up popped the Trinity, Jeter, Garciaparra, and the tsunami of Rodriguez. Despite winning an NL MVP, Larkin never got the bigger media coverage he should have because, suddenly, he wasn't the best shortstop in baseball.

What is fastest softball pitch speed ever recorded?

Ozzie got in as an exceptional fielder. His batting stats aren't the reason he got in.

Trammell was not anything exceptional in the field. And his totally inept manging career has killed any chance he'd be reconsidered.

What is the best site for complete pitching stats?

Because Ozzie is the best defensive short-stop of all time. Contrary to popular opinion, defense should be a consideration in hall voting.

But don't worry, Trammell will make it eventually. If he was as good with the leather as the Wizard was, he'd be in already. That's not to say Trammell was a clod out there. he was a sound defensive player. But Ozzie is the best ever.
