Fred McGriff, aka the Major League Super Star promoter for Tom Emanski's Defensive Drills Video that lead to back, to back, to back AAU national championships becomes eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010.
The Crime Dog played baseball the right way, he was one player in the steroid era that did not use performance enhancing drugs. With his 493 career home runs, 2490 hits and his five all-star appearances gives him a legitimate chance to enter the hall. The Crime Dog was one player that I remember watching when I younger and his induction to the hall of fame is clearly deserved.
The Crime Dog played for six different teams in his career and the question of which hat he should wear if he gets inducted into the hall of fame is a tricky question. You can make an argument for the Blue Jays, Braves or even the Devil Rays, but I honestly believe he should be the first player to be inducted with his own hat. The lid he wore in the Tom Emanski video will forever be part of his legacy and what is a greater way to honor the Crime Dog by putting him in the Hall of Fame with that hat?
