I guess I will take a shot at this

Since I am more of a hit and run poster, I am not looking forward to Wuap's question. I have noticed they tend to take some thought to answer and I might not get around to giving it much thought for hours, weeks or months.
I am hopeful this doesn't upset anyone or lower whatever standing I have on here, but what is, is.

Here's your question.....your comment about my question couldn't lower my already impossibly low opinion of you, so if you do well in answering this question, there's nowhere to go but up.

The 1953 Bowman (Color) Pee Wee Reese baseball card, one of the first 'action shots' in baseball card production, is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cards ever made.



The above image doesn't fully capture the subtle hues and printing finesse of the actual card when held in your hand. The same has been said of Reese's stats as a shortshop vis a vis his enshrinement in the Hall of Fame. Some have argued that his stats, on paper, do not indicate Hall worthiness, and that his playing in New York provided the extra boost that the shortfall in his career numbers did not fill. Others have said that Reese's stats, much like the digital copy of his baseball card, do not truly reflect the beauty and grace of his play and accomplishments. Some have argued that the Dodgers' were a better team with Reese playing, whether he did anything or not. He fails the Black Ink, Gray Ink, HOF Monitor, and HOF Standards tests. Does Pee Wee Reese deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, if we judge him by today's standards for election? Explain your answer.

Yes, because he was really, really good.

Yes, because he was really, really good.

I gave you a beautiful and thoughtful question based on your stated interest and love of the Dodgers, and that's all you give me?

(reluctantly) we shall be great friends.

I recognize the question was well done. You probably could have given a more eloquent answer than I did, not probably, you could have.

However, in my own defense I appreciated the simplicity and honesty in my answer.

and yes, I think we are already great friends.
