Not sure about HOF but that is excellent news, always glad to see someone kick cancer's booty
he's HOF worthy IMHO.
- arguably the best big game pitcher ever with insane post-season stats: 11-2, 2.23 in 19 post-season starts (that's against quality teams), including an NLCS MVP and WS MVP, and the "bloody sock" game.
- top 50 in +ERA
- nine 200 inning seasons, largely pitching for crappy Philly teams
- top 100 in wins (82nd), WAR (62nd), ERA+ (46th), WHIP (47th), K/9 (22nd), strikeouts (15th), innings (96th) and K/BB ratio (2nd)
- led the NL once in complete games and tied for 1st three other times
- six time all-star, four finishes in the top 5 in cy young voting
the only real knock on him is his low career win total (216), but again, he pitched for some very crappy teams and I believe he had something like 30 or 40 blown saves behind him.
