They allow .097 hitters into the Hall of Fame.

I'm not completely sure Sandy Koufax belongs in the Hall of Fame. He's certainly the primary example of a player who dominated for a short period of time, which is usually not the preferred entry requirement.

But I'm pretty sure this is the most perplexing anti-Koufax logic imaginable, graciously provided by the ethereal "Michael" from New York:

"I read your answer concerning Koufax and Mattingly, and you are mistaken. Koufax could not hit, he could not run, and his defense was only average. Koufax was a one-dimensional player. All he could do was pitch and nothing else."
