I would vote yes if, and only if, the question was "was Willie McGee the ugliest baseball player you have ever seen?". Hall of fame? Heavens no.

Willie is my all time favorite baseball player but sadly he comes up short.

 

:(

Another thing, I've seen the photo's in social and I can honestly say NSBB is a fugly bunch. No more throwing stones at Willie!

If baseball consisted of only backup infielders and 5th OF'ers, he'd make the HoF.

[SouthSideRyan]

I can't believe he got the 15% to make it a 2nd year.

Who voted "Yes" here???

Who voted "Yes" here???

I did. Not because I think he deserves it, but because I wanted to be the only one to vote. Two others beat me to it. I want to know who voted for him in the real HOF polls. They should get their votes taken away. And in case Joe Morgan wasn't one who voted for him, he should get his taken away anyway just to be an example of what happens when you are dumb.
