Former Mariners Pitcher Jamie Moyer’s Cooperstown Case

Among the legends who will be eligible for the hall of fame induction in 2018, Jamie Moyer is one of the most polarizing figures on the ballot. Voters and fans alike are debating whether Moyer’s accolades throughout his body of work are worthy of the call to Cooperstown.
