If you talk to the statheads Coors is notoriously problematic to adjust for.

One day you can be the only person outside of Colorado telling your boy what baseball was like when the greats like Larry Walker walked the earth.

This is incredibly stupid. You’re smarter than this Verc. LW is very well respected in the baseball community, and he will be enshrined.

Hell, I figured, with your new found massive hard on for defense, you’d love Larry Walker. Truly great defense and an other worldly cannon.

Also, he looked like he could’ve been your plumber, that scores extra in my book.

Playing in Colorado is almost like getting lumped in with the PED guys. Nobody really knows how to quantify effect.

But, on the flip side, NO one accounts or quantifies for statistics played in pitcher friendly parks. And LW played as many road games in pitcher friendly parks as anyone. More than most others actually.

If you’d pick Andrew Jones’ career over Larry Walker’s, then I can’t help you. You are too far gone. And that’s ok.

This is like trying to talk about abortion. You're arguing about completely different things than I am. Jones and Walker are almost beside the point -- the real issue is that you and I don't agree on what ought to get you in the Hall of Fame.

There are no parks remotely as friendly to pitchers as Coors is to hitters. You'd have to have more foul territory than Dodger Stadium, 450 foot outfield fences, and a mound 10 inches higher.

This is ludicrous. Chase field is also a hitters paradise and petco didn’t open until 2004, when Larry was in a Uhaul to St Louis.

Have you heard the Arian Foster podcast with Inky. They talked for about an hour about school, football, religion, growing up. Pretty good listen.

Pro tip: Don’t convert operating and accounting systems in a company with 1500+ transactions per day.
