Talk:Rick Ferrell

Controversial HoF Selection?
Shouldn't there be a section on his HoF status? I have nothing against the guy but his brother, a Pitcher, was a better hitter than he was. Of course, Wes was probably the best-hitting Pitcher who stayed a Pitcher. But Rick's offense, given the context of a very high-scoring era, was just not that impressive. I may do a section like that, although I'm not wild about being negative about someone who was apparently a good guy and certainly a good defensive Catcher. Still, Bill Freehan would be a better HoF choice. 71.192.59.174 (talk) 02:06, 15 November 2012 (UTC)Will in New Haven71.192.59.174 (talk) 02:06, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The article articulates that he was one the top hitting catchers of his era, when combined with his better than average defensive skills and longevity at a difficult fielding position, it doesn't seem very controversial. Neonblak talk  -  19:26, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks For GA
Thanks to all who contributed to elevating this to a GA status. If anyone wants to have a look at Birdie Tebbetts, that is another article quite close to being a GA.Orsoni (talk) 10:23, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
