The 2017 Hall of Fame ballot has been set for a few weeks, and as the majority of the baseball world slogs through the unremitting Tim Raines columns (or details of the new CBA), today at Talking Chop, we’re going to examine the case of Fred McGriff.
For the uninitiated, McGriff played five seasons for the Atlanta Braves, from 1993 to 1997 where he hit 130 home runs through 636 games. “Crime Dog” was a three-time All-Star first baseman for the Braves, and went on to start at first base for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays during their 1998 debut season.
