August 12, 200421 yr Hell NO. every yankee fan thinks he is, but he's not that good. let's compare him to jim edmonds (courtesy of my bro): Williams: career OPS .882, 4 (undeserved?) GGs, 253 HRs, declining/declined Edmonds: career OPS .913, 6 GGs, 291 HRs, still strong There you go, but of course there are two arguments you can use: Williams has more rings Williams played for the Yankees while Edmonds played for the ANGELS and Cardinals ADJUSTED OPS (ballparks are taken into account) Bernie Williams 131 (decreasing) Jim Edmonds 135 (increasing)
August 12, 200421 yr If Music Ability played into the decesion then he would be a shoe in. I always thought he was overrated somehow. If it wasn't for The 96 playoffs he wouldn't be as big.
August 12, 200421 yr Don't think he's worthy, but he is definitely pretty clutch when October rolls around.
August 12, 200421 yr He's not HOF worthy. He'll get his number retired, probably get a plaque in monument park, but he doesn't have HOF numbers. Great guy, but not Cooperstown bound
August 12, 200421 yr If Bernie Williams gets in the hall, then about a quarter of the players in baseball belong also. :thumbdown
August 12, 200421 yr If Bernie Williams gets in the hall, then about a quarter of the players in baseball belong also. :thumbdown 508312[/snapback] Please, don't exaggerate! Have you noticed who has the most post-season RBI??? (it's either RBI or HR...lol)...He's not a HOFer, but give him props, dude!
August 13, 200421 yr he took that sacred title from david justice 508580[/snapback] "sacred title"... It was RBI, right?

(it's either RBI or HR...lol)...He's not a HOFer, but give him props, dude! 508505[/snapback] Thats why their stats are only based on your regular season. O and that record of his is overrated because he has played a ton of games in the WS compared to others who just dont get the opportunity to play in it
August 13, 200421 yr One of the great October players of all time, but he has no business in the HOF.
August 13, 200421 yr fact: if he didn't play in New York, nobody would ever mention it as a possibility
August 13, 200421 yr Author giantsfan is right. also, people seem to like players who seem to do the "little things" like bernie. most of the time, the little things are mostly imagined, as in berie's case. alomar, biggio, mcgriff, martinez...these guys deserve consideration. williams does not.
