Good job to the sprots writers who voted in Andre Dawson into Baseball's hall of Fame. Mr. Dawson entered Basebal in 1976, won the Rookie of the Year award in 1977, spent the next 11 seasons destroying his knees on Montreal's AstroTurf and being the best player on the team. The Hawk then went to the Chicago Cubs in 1987 and offered to play for whatever they wanted to pay him; he responded by winning the national League Most Valuable Player award with career highs in Home Runs (47) and Runs Batted In (147)though the team finished in last place.
The stats will show that he is only one of three players who have 300 stolen bases and 400 Home Runs (Barry Bonds and Willie Mays being the other two) Towrds the end of his career he spent years with the Red Sox and the Marlins; he never got to play in a world series
