Keltner List for Charlie Culberson
Just to be clear, I really like Charlie Culberson. So in the spirit of Big Hall standards, herewith my best case for putting Charlie in the Hall of Fame.
Was he ever regarded as the best player in baseball? Did anybody, while he was active, ever suggest that he was the best player in baseball?
Answer: Yes, at least with a little editing. According to SportsTalkATL: “If there is one thing we have learned about Charlie in his two years in Atlanta, he is [the] best….Is he as clutch as they come? Yes.”
Was he the best player on his team?
Given the first quote, obviously. See quote above.
Was he the best player in baseball at his position? Was he the best player in the league at his position?
