Schilling’s era was much more offensive-oriented than Hershiser’s. His Arizona years were incredible. Schilling blows him away in Ks, WHIP and ERA+. And I don’t think it’s very reasonable (or realistic) to expect the voters to completely ignore postseason performance. Besides, Schilling is a far, far more deserving candidate than Mazeroski, who should not be in under an circumstances. Puckett is arguable. I suppose an argument can be made for Hershiser. But Schilling, like some others, is a special case because of how dominant he was at his peak. That’s a qualification for induction, as far as I’m concerned.
