This is a moronic way to look at someone's career. What would a similar chart look like for Ernie Banks? Records are never single baseball players fault.

Something I wondered and you are the person to ask.

What are the most common reasons people give for saying Dick Allen is not a Hall of Famer?

A chart based on team wins is meaningless without explanation.

Thanks.
A chart based on team wins is meaningless without explanation.

The explanation is the moronic statement made by Bill James...

He said Dick Allen "did more to keep his teams from winning" -- I wanted to show that statement was not supported by the facts: Dick Allen and his teams won more than they lost.
