Title: Blyleven Hall of Shame Entry
Post by: BeefMaster on 11/02/04, 09:38:18 AM
I think Bert Blyleven needs something besides the nose-picking in his Hall of Shame entry.  He holds the major league record for homeruns allowed in a season, with 50 in 1986.  He also led the league with 46 in 1987, his RBI year.  Surely, this is Hall-of-Shame-worthy.

I just looked at the season leaderboards on baseball-reference.com, and not only was Blyleven the league leader in HR allowed in '86 and '87, but Jack Morris was second both years.  And Frank Viola was 3rd in 1986.  Sutton is also in the top 10 both years.

i belive bly is also maybe the only european born RBI'er and he was famous for the hot-foot prank, and for being a prankster in general.... don't remember if you have all that on there though

That should go under Schroeder's entry, since he lost.  I was actually at the game that day, although I missed the milking contest (it was somewhere on the plaza outside the dome).
