No Hall of Fame call for Edgar

Max Effgen, January 10, 2013September 5, 2014

Edgar’s final at bat Edgar Martinez was overlooked by the Baseball Writers of America again yesterday. Total shame. The DH rule has been in place for 40 years this season. Ironically, the rule is older than the Mariners. The statistics are real and even more impressive given the steroid fueled…
