Tony Mazz Explains His Baseball HOF Ballot - Felger & Mazz

Tony Mazz explains his baseball Hall of Fame ballot.

[@nnis75]

I listened to one writer say certain players don't get votes because they weren't nice to the media. Really? We have children deciding who makes the Hall of Fame. I don't even pay attention.

[@rxdoctordaddy1795]

Dude, todd helton almost batted .400 for an entire season. He was the best player the rockies ever had. Took them the thr 07 series which we won, but that team had no business being there.

[@samthomas3255]

Wasn’t even the best player on that 07 Rockies team (Tulowiski) let’s not rewrite history

[@rxdoctordaddy1795]

@@samthomas3255 haha!!!! Not even close, my guy.

[@jacksafereffort516]

Larry Walker was a better hitter than Todd Helton.

[@KyleJoseph-vo6vp]

Matt holiday was the best player on that 07 rockies team and yes they did belong there.. they were a GOOD team

[@Platypus645]

A hall of famer to me is if you wrote the book of MLB history are they included

[@rossdilworth3412]

How many players had 3000 hits? Like 30 in the history of baseball... Only ones who aren't in are rose and palmeiro

[@jacksafereffort516]

I'm with them on this. Helton, Beltre, Wagner. These guys were All-Stars, not Hallers. Mazz is right, the hall should be small. The only one I disagree with Mazz about is Vladdy. Vladdy was special.

You wanna see a thorn in the flesh Alan turing last message is your all gonna pay, and goddamn it is the truth

[@wrongwayranger4736]

Just remembered he was a Red Sox 😂

[@jacobsilverman7667]

Mike and Tony's age really show in this clip. For younger folks like me in their 20's, Beltre was our Brett or Schmidt. If memory serves, at the time of Beltre's retirement was the only third basemen in history with 3000 hits and 400 hime runs. I 100% view him as one of the best third basemen of my lifetime and he should be in.

[@jacobscott9732]

Nope. It's not the hall of hanging around a long time and accumulating stats. "They dont even know who Billy Wagner is" BINGO.

[@jacobsilverman7667]

@@jacobscott9732 What does Billy Wagner have to do with Adrian Beltre? I agree with their sentiment of not letting just anyone in. I'm saying that Beltre did deserve to get in

[@fortheloveofsports1029]

If you don’t know Billy Wagner then you haven’t watched a baseball game prior to the last 10 years , these guys are knocking beltre and Hilton as if they were bums , that’s absurd , Hilton batted .316 for his career in 17 years , without steroids , you want guys in who cheated to be where they were beltre has over 3000 hits and has batted .284 for a very long career , makes absolutely zero sense

[@Topher5127]

No he wasn't. Arod was my Brett or Schmidt and I hated Arod

[@patricksullivan5272]

The Hall of this guy was fun.

[@kwf484]

LMK when MLB talk is over, thanks

[@steveoakes7072]

Between Pete rose..bonds... Rodriguez..Manny..Clemens...I think the team not in could compete with any team in there...I must be missing others as well

[@notoriouseagle1074]

Shoeless Joe and Rafael Palmero.

[@youngpower24]

Beltre getting in is astonishing. I thought he was just an add on to the pool.

[@jacobsilverman7667]

3000 hit club, a hair under 500 HRs, 5 time Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, All Star. What else are you looking for?

[@ryanmulcahey9810]

Are you high the guy was elite

[@AndrewJano24]

You are non ball knower then

[@Topher5127]

@@jacobsilverman7667 Star power> skill or stats. A reason to buy a ticket.

[@ThePatriots010304]

The baseball HOF is a joke. Beltre was good for 20 years, but he was never an all-time player not even for one season. Just another reason as to why the sport is dying and nobody really gives a crap.

[@ribeyesteak8662]

His literally the greatest defensive 3rd basemen ever

[@jacobsilverman7667]

Beltre at the time of retirement: 2nd most gold gloves by a third basemen in history (5) 3000 hit club Top 3 in hits and home runs all time for a third basemen Only third basemen in history with 3000+ hits and 400+ home runs Give him his flowers. He was a rightful and deserving first ballot HOFer.

[@christopherb.8465]

Hey dummy, you didn't notice one of the best defensive 3rd basemen in history had 477 homers and 3,166 hits?

[@user-wg1ko4yu6v]

Are you soft in the head? He's #7 all time in WAR for third baseman and at worst the second best defensive third baseman ever.

[@AndrewJano24]

You don’t know ball. Beltre is one of the greatest defensive third basemen in history and has over 450 home runs

[@yanielramos3584]

Carlos Beltran snubbed and is one of the best outfielders but the ball of fame gets Todd Helton in sad day.

[@KyleJoseph-vo6vp]

Todd Helton was better than cheater Beltran

[@notoriouseagle1074]

I've never understood Felger's Biggio disrespect. Guy has over 3,000 hits and was the face of the Astros NL years from the 90's-2007.

[@jameswigggg]

Because he came up during the steroid error, and could’ve easily have been one of those people that use steroids, but because he didn’t have the same amount of power as the other guys people don’t even look his way so in his eyes, it seems hypocritical that he gets in, but the other guys that hit for more power don’t

[@AndrewJano24]

You saying Beltre isn’t a hall of famer has to be racially motivated. Of course you think of “George Brett, chipper jones, brooks Robinson and mike Schmidt” when you think of third baseman and not Beltre who is just as good if not better than all of them

[@robf4639]

It’s become the Hall of Very Good. It’s sad.

[@ballard827]

The WWE hall of fame is the most legit hall of fame. Baseball, football, and basketball all meaningless

[@notoriouseagle1074]

Hockey?

[@ballard827]

@@notoriouseagle1074 I don't know enough about it to say it's not the best of the best. I only started really following hockey when I was a senior in HS 07/08. I know the least about it out of the big 4

[@wrongwayranger4736]

My motto is if you have to think about it the answer is NO! If the player is an automatic yes then it’s a big NO

[@rossdilworth3412]

The only 3rd baseman in the last 60 years he is definitely behind is mike Schmidt. The guy has well over 3000 hits and this loser didn't know he was a third baseman for 20 years? Then why r u doing a segment on something u know nothing about? Over 450 home runs.

[@rossdilworth3412]

Biggio has 3000 hits and His career war is barely behind jeter. Wow, what A horrible player. go kick rocks.

[@frazafraze1]

These 2 know absolutely nothing about baseball! 😂😂😂😂

[@patricksullivan5272]

I love the how Baseball hates itself so much and it is self destructive. The only time talking Baseball is bearable is when its being trashed for being silly. Cry about Billy Wagner but Somebody saw Ken Griffey Jr. And said not a HOFer. The Baseball hall of Fame is useless.
