As a Reds fan, I thought the 1972 Reds vs. A's series would outrank 1975. Six of seven games decided by one run I believe, with opportunities galore for those six games to turn out differently. Did that series make the Top 10, or have the years messed with my memory?
Retiring Keith Hernandez' number, much less HoF candidacy, is ridiculous. A total of 3 seasons with more than 100 runs or RBI's is way low for a 1B. A .297 BA is nice, but nothing special, again, especially for a 1B, and combined with an OPS - BA (so BA isn't counted twice)in the low .200's. There are usually at least four 1B every year that exceed .300. His glove wasn't that much better than the average 1B. I don't really see Will Clark up there either, but I can at least see him in the discussion for a retired number.
