Calvin & Hobbes
Bill Watterson made the comics Hall of Fame on peak value.
It’s clear when you look at things outside of baseball that there are different standards, no? Had The Beatles only done Sgt Pepper, don’t you put them in the Hall of Fame? Dr Richard Daystrom or Zefram Cochrane make it on one invention, no? Da Vinci makes it for Mona Lisa? After the 4th Wimbledon, don’t you immortalize Bjorn Borg?
So, apply the same thing to baseball. Have different standards for best-3 years, best-5 years, best-7 years, best-10 years, best-15 years, best-career. Obviously, you’ll have very few qualified for the best-3 years, and the more years, the more players qualify. Bonds 1999-2003 guarantees enshrinement, regardless of what else he did.
I read the entire Calvin & Hobbes collection to my boy last year. Some really great stuff.
