Lee Smith Interview
Lee Smith via telephone on his Hall of Fame snubs in recent years:
“When I retired, nobody seemed to know I was the all-time saves leader for almost 15 years. Until Trevor Hoffman broke my record, half the people thought Eckersley was the all-time leader.”
“THEY’RE holding out on me. I have, like, 200 more saves than two or three guys who are in there. I don’t understand, man.”

I am totally shocked that Lee Smith
got snubbed like he did!! Aren’t the people who vote suppose to have
the nominees statistics in front of
them while making their decision about who should be on the ballot for the hall of fame???
It is a shame players like Smith
are excluded..I am a yankee fan but
i remember watching Lee play.
When ever he was called on to pitch
he was amazing to watch!!! What’s
up with the morons who vote!!
The sports writers are another story for the “daily skew”….
Free Lee Smith!
The Cubs Nation should be out there, campaigning for one of their own!
