Big Papi, he wasn't 
It doesn't help that he was a #^&#^&#^&#^& to the press and the fans--what goes around, comes around  |

They don't vote on the last year of a players career Mike....if they did none of them would get in because not many players last season stats are their best seasons?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I don't know if they kept stats for walk o f f homers when Rice played, but I'd be willing to bet that Papi had more in each of the last two seasons than Rice had his whole career.
It wasn't strike-outs that was his Achilles heel--it was the %^&*()$ 6-4-3 DP.
He was a guy who consistently came up small in the clutch, for all of his stats.
Should it keep him out of Cooperstown??--probably not.

I think he's a border line hall of famer!
Hit into a LOT of double plays and a lot of his homeruns where with a lead in a game! not many game winners!
Had he carried the team even world series win like Ortiz did, he would have been in for a while now!
