lol...they show the Ortiz HR where Torii went over the wall as a "good example"? IIRC, he took a bad path to the ball. If he would have taken the right path he has a decent chance to catch the ball and definitely doesn't go ass over elbows into the bull pen.

Unfortunately, that is probably the one memory I have of him as a Tiger.

Hunter was a decent hitter, and an overrated defensive player. He was above average on defense but not by much.

No one ever mentions Freehan. He should be in the hall. And more so because he was part of a pitching era, before the mounds were lowered.

THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers

The Saturday Survey offers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic.
So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our passionate readers.
Today, we center the discussion on the Baseball Hall of Fame voting criteria.
As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!

Next week, the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) will announce who, if any, players will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Over the years, the elections have become increasingly controversial between the alleged popularity contests, PED controversies and the importance of the character and integrity clauses that are part of the decision-making process. Most recently, arguments concerning revisionist history and the cancel culture/freedom of speech have further complicated the elections. And as a result, we?re seeing a number of prominent journalists opting out of the voting process.
How happy are you, the fans, with this system? Should something be done or should the system remain the same?

Which option below do you feel will be the very best option?
1. Keep the process the same as it?s been.
2. Ask the committee/current Hall of Famers for input.
3. Edit and clarify the current written rules.
4. Make public every writer?s votes.
5. Have players/managers vote instead of the writers.
