Episode 143: Kenny Lofton with Jim Ingraham

Jim is joined by HOF voter and sportswriter Jim Ingraham to discuss the Hall of Fame candidacy of former MLB centerfielder Kenny Lofton. First, Jim talks about Lofton's first spring training with Cleveland and how in awe everyone was with Lofton's out of this world athleticism (6:28). Next, they discuss Lofton's ridiculous baserunning in Game 6 of the 1995 ALCS, how Lofton compares favorably to Tim Raines, and where Lofton's stellar WAR places him among the greatest centerfielders in MLB history (15:05). Finally, they cover how Lofton stacks up against the best centerfielders of the 1990s (37:50), before making a final call on whether or not Lofton deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (42:22).
