I just felt like saying something positive about the guy. He was a good pitcher for a long time and he sported some nice facial hair while he did it. Those are all things I genuinely feel to be true.

Heyman wrote (incorrectly) that Morris was the ace on a team with Blyleven and Stewart, which is just patently false.

How do you rationally discuss something with someone who offers no proof, only lies?

It’s almost a crusade, and it’s ridiculous.” –Ken Rosenthal

Yes, because pointing out that Jack Morris was a good but overrated pitcher and then the reasons for it is “over the top”.

Look, I’m sure it exists because everything exists on the internet somewhere, but overwhelmingly everything I’ve read on Jack Morris and the hall merely points out that his statistical record is pretty far below that of other Hall of Fame pitchers. I think it’s pretty absurd that arguing strongly against Morris on the basis of his 3.90 ERA is now “over the top”.
