Catfish was a top pitcher of his time who also cashes in on the fame part of the Hall pretty heavily. He pitched for two storied franchises, won a bunch of rings, and was involved in one of the most compelling contract stories of all time. He's definitely one of the weaker pitchers enshrined but personally I think he belongs. I was lucky enough to see him pitch many times, both with Oakland and New York. If you really want a good look into how important he was off the diamond, as a teammate, read The Bronx Zoo. should be required reading for any baseball fan anyway.
