July 26, 200422 yr Hasn't done enough at the end of his career to boost his numbers to the HOF caliber.
July 26, 200422 yr Nope. He was a good Reds player and good SS for his time but the numbers dont add up.
July 26, 200422 yr he was one of if not the best SS of the 90s he is in, regardless if his numbers arent as good.
July 27, 200422 yr f*** you haters. Barry was the best SS in the game for years. He was incredible defensively with the glove, he is a team leader, and he is a Hall of Famer. Barry Larkin was a great player! Are you guys like 12? Remembering only the last 4 or 5 years? Gold Gloves, All Star games, Silver Sluggers. Barry is the man.
August 9, 200422 yr I'll bring this back up to give the haters a nice big s*** burger to eat. Larkin is a career .295 hitter. He should get to 200 homers this year, needing only 3 more. An 83% successful stealing percentage, with 379 steals. Larkin was one of the best base runners of his time. 2300+ career hits. The first 30-30 shortstop in the history of the game. One of the most, if not the most, complete player in his time. He is the only shortstop in Major League history and just the fifth player ever to accumulate at least 2,200 hits, 190 home runs and 370 stolen bases. Larkin has been selected to the All Star team 11 times. 9 Silver Slugger awards, and even an MVP title in the 1995 season. Larkin has multiple Gold Gloves, I cannot find the number. If not for the last few injury plagued years, BL would be a .300+ career hitter. So productive over so many years playing on f***ing astroturf.

Barry is the man. 478568[/snapback] I'm 27, so I saw Barry in his great years. I just don't see him getting inducted. With A-Rod, Tejada, etc.... raising the bar for shortstops, I don't see it.
August 10, 200422 yr hell get the vote in a slow year with not many big names on the ballot. maybe 3-4 years after hes eligible.
