*paging Todd V to The Baseball Zealot*

Carter hit one of the most memorable home runs in baseball history and he had a much better career than the guy who got in the HOF based on ONE HOME RUN. I can’t let that go, can I?

Bill Madlock anecdote: Missed about 25 games a year with pulled muscles in his thighs and calves. Writers at the time said that in years when Madlock was in contention for a batting crown, the better the opposition pitcher, the greater the chance that Madlock would be unable to play that day.

I thought he hit doubles, played adequate 3B in his younger days and ran well.

Offensively, maybe a “mini-Hal McRae.”
