Dan Corn:
Mickey Lolich is deserving in your hall as well as the HOF. Compare
his stats to Jim Bunning (HOF-member). Lolich was also a money pitcher as
evidenced by his work in the '68 World Series and the '72 ALCS.
Alan Trammell is also worthy of consideration.
Keith:
A lot of pitchers would make our Hall of Fame if all
they needed were comparable numbers to Jim Bunning.
And Lolich's are only barely comparable, as he has a
worse winning percentage, ERA, IP total, K/BB ratio,
and HR rate. Lolich's ERA was only 4% above the
league average over the course of his career. Five
postseason games, no matter how impressive they were,
cannot vault a basically league average pitcher into
our Hall of Fame.
But while neither Bunning nor Lolich will ever make
our list, Trammell is already there; you must have
just missed him:

Dan:
Thank you for including Alan Trammell. He is deserving.
Noticed him
on you list after I hit send. Quality man as well.
Also, thank you for your reply. I still feel Mickey Lolich is the
quality of pitcher worthy of inclusion. There has been few seasons like
his in 1971 where he led the league in wins 25 and set the AL Record for
strikeouts by a left hander. Please reconsider.

Mickey Lolich was AWESOME is 1971, and really quite good in
1972. Unfortunately, I can't say that any of his other
seasons matched up comparably to those two.
Which makes him comparable to Mike Scott and Rick Sutcliffe.
If there is anyone you should be annoyed at for being in the
Hall of Fame ahead of Mickey Lolich, it is Catfish Hunter.
I would probably take Lolich over Hunter, but I would still
take Bunning over both of them.
Both Trammell and Sweet Lou are in our Hall.
