re dave kingman for the hall of fame in article c jbse kkk news udel edu philly ravel udel edu robert c hite writes are you for real how many gold gloves does ozzie smith have if a guy hung around and hit homers a year for years wouldn t he be a given for the hall is defense not just as important frankly no offense and defense are equally important but the pitcher is of the defense the primary role of every other player is on offense even shortstops are a bigger part of the offensive game than of the defensive game they might not do much with their part of the offense but that s another issue that being said i think both smith and yount deserve the hof they hit pretty well in addition to their defense cheers valentine
