September 21, 200422 yr This Date, 1990 Andre Dawson of the CUBS stole his 300th base, becoming only the 2nd player with 300 homers, 300 steals, and 2000 hits. Willy Mays was the other. This Date, 1911 Cy Young, age 44, beat the Pirates 1-0 for his 511th and final major league victory. Something to be said for Vintage. Consider some of the circa 40 year old players still producing. Come on back Hawk!
September 21, 200422 yr Author Why was this "Moved" from the Main Forum? Andre Dawson is a Marlin now. Perhaps the quick-triggered Moderator doesn't know that. And lots herein talking about the Pavano candidacy for the Cy Young Award and have no idea who Cy Young was or when he pitched.
September 21, 200422 yr Author perhaps because this topic has nothing to do with the marlins? 566989[/snapback] Andre Dawson has to do with the Marlins. And many herein talk about Pavano's candidacy for the Cy Young award and have no idea who Cy Young was or when he pitched. I'm sure, Das Texan, these are difficult facts for you to absorb.

September 21, 200422 yr Author Das Texan, nothing has to be very far removed from you to be beyond your reach. You should not be a Moderator. Definition is inherently "moderate." You are never moderate. I wrote to Admin this morning with my reasons why you should not be a Moderator. Perhaps if you could write more than your usual single negative sentence we could have some confidence in your sobriety.
September 21, 200422 yr Dawson is my favorite ballplayer of all-time.. he is the man. My Andre Dawson memorabilia collection owns all.

Willy Mays was the other. 566980[/snapback] He was the third guy to do it, the Great One's father did it as well, he had 332 homers and and 461 steals. I think an accomplish like that is enough to put a guy in the hall. Only four guys have done it, and two of them are the two greatest players in baseball history. Both Dawson and Bobby Bonds deserve to be enshrined.

The topic was moved to the proper forum, big deal
September 21, 200422 yr Dawson is my favorite ballplayer of all-time.. he is the man. My Andre Dawson memorabilia collection owns all. 567043[/snapback] he should definitely be in the Hall

Still, Dawson and Bonds belong in the Hall of Fame just for being members of the 300/ 300 club
September 22, 200422 yr As much as I hate the Cubs, The Hawk was my favorite player. He is a little known fact about him as well, after his 1987 MVP season he did not have a contract, so he walked into the Cubs front office with a blank check and told the team to pay him what they feel he is worth because he wanted to play for the Cubs so bad. Needless to say, the underpaid him incredably, but he did not bitch or say anything bad about the organization...he even stayed for some years, then to Boston then to Flordia. The only think that recently upset me about him, was when the Fish were in town to play the Cubs he sang the 7th inning stretch (as stupid as that thing is). He was wearing a Cubs hat and jersey, but never said "root, root, root, for the Cubbies" which was good of him. Viva La Hawk!
September 22, 200422 yr here's a question re: Andrew Dawson: If he goes into the Hall, which team should he go in with, Cubs or Expos?
September 22, 200422 yr Hard question, but it's gotta be Chi-Town -5 time All-Star with them -won NL MVP with the Cubs -Put up better stats in a shorter time period with the Cubs
