The Hawk For The Hall, 3.0

Cubs.com does a good job summing up Andre Dawson's Hall of Fame credentials:

  • 24th all-time in RBIs.

  • 32nd all-time in home runs.

  • 21st in extra-base hits.

  • One of six players to hit 300 home runs and steal 300 bases.

  • One of two eligible players (Cal Ripken is the other) with more than 1,000 career extra-base hits who is not in the Hall of Fame.

  • Eight-time Gold Glove winner.

  • Eight-time All-Star.

  • NL Player of the Year by The Sporting News in 1981 and '87.

  • 1987 MVP.

  • Totaled 100 RBIs four times.

  • Hit 20-plus homers 13 times.

  • Hit 30-plus doubles five times.

  • On May 22, 1990, the Cincinnati Reds intentionally walked Dawson five times in a 16-inning game. The Cubs won, 2-1.
Ryno put it up this way in his Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2005:

"No player in baseball history worked harder, suffered more or did it better than Andre Dawson. He's the best I've ever seen. I watched him win an MVP for a last-place team in 1987, and it was the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen in baseball. He did it the right way, the natural way, and he did it in the field and on the bases and in every way, and I hope he will stand up here someday."
