HBT Daily: Should a DH make the Hall of Fame? | HardballTalk
This got me to thinking. Most know that Ortiz most likely won't make the HOF due to PED ties, but we ALL know Frank Thomas will make the Hall. A little known fact is that Thomas played a higher percentage of his career at DH than on the field, so he WILL be the first DH elected to the Hall of Fame. My question is, will Thomas' induction open the door for players like Edgar Martinez and possibly Harold Baines (Veteran's Committee) to eventually make it?
Edit - I accidentally spelled entry, "entery" in the poll question. Doh!
