cjs13, you are a dumbass.robin yount is one of the most underated shortstops in the history of the league.

very overrated; won the 82 mvp more on media hype, and the local fans loved his blue collar image, cooper was the soul of the team, molitor was the ignitor, would usually come up big in blowout games and falter in the close ones

Dave Parker has more career home runs, RBIs, and a higher career batting average, more World Series rings plus more all-star and playoff appearances, yet he has no chance of ever getting into the Hall of Fame while Yount got in on the first ballot? Was it Parker's admitted drug problem which he beat a long, long time ago that keeps him from being a Hall of Fame candidate? If the Hall of Fame voting is based on moral character, then why are Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb in the Hall? Yount's only claim is that he got over 3,000 hits, but it took him over 20 years to do it. Big deal.

A very good, solid, reliable ballplayer, year after year for a very long time. Deserves his place in the Hall.
