    Nope. Only thing really going for Morris over Blyleven is fickle Win% and he got more attention in voters for awards.
    Please make at least a small effort to stay on topic.

    Lyle, oh yeah, the Red Sox reliever. I think I remember him. Sitting bare bottomed on birthday cakes or something silly if I recall correctly.

    easy Jack has that new fangled hall of fame feel, burt doesn't...
    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

    He had a hall of fame mustache if I ever saw one.

    Yes, you will say Blyleven had an awesome beard, and I would tend to agree, but he had nothing on Jack's stache

    Maybe because of the slipup Blyleven made last year on live TV?

    Maybe a lot of writers remember his '79 comment about his stats being more important than the team's performance?

    So, basically, the answer is...no. There is absolutely no rational way to justify voting for Jack Morris but not for Bert Blyleven.
