As a Twins fan I got to see a lot of Black Jack with both the Tigers and the Twins. And, despite the fact that he pitched the most important game in the history of my favorite team, I can't look at his numbers, compare them to other HOFers and HOF candidates and say he belongs for sure. Does he belong in over a guy like Jim Kaat or Tommy John?
That being said, I wouldn't be angry if he were to make it in as there are several players that have been inducted in recent years that I don't think belong with the best of the best in the game's history. Blyleven, Rice and Dawson are the first ones to come to mind.
