SorianoFanHFW Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJC Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 i love bernie but i dont think hes HOF worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Don't think he's worthy, but he is definitely pretty clutch when October rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickGold Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinFan10 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 If Bernie Williams gets in the hall, then about a quarter of the players in baseball belong also. :thumbdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFanPR Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishFanPR Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 he took that sacred title from david justice 508580[/snapback] "sacred title"... It was RBI, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 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! 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 One of the great October players of all time, but he has no business in the HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPosey Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 fact: if he didn't play in New York, nobody would ever mention it as a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 he gets in because of the yankee factor ... unfortunate yet his props are due Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorianoFanHFW Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 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.
