I find it interesting that there seems to be a genuine push for Bumgarner to get HOF consideration, while Beckett

literally didn't get one single HOF vote. Not that either should be a HOFer, imo.

Beckett's game 6 in the 2003 WS is a forgotten gem. 9 innings, 5 hits, 2 walks, 9 Ks, 0 runs. That Yankees team he shut out averaged 5.38 RPG and had a team OPS of .810 with 230 HRs in the regular season. Every starter except Robin Ventura had an adjusted OPS above 100, as did their top 3 bench guys.
