	Harold Baines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harold Douglass Baines (born March 15, 1959 in Easton, Maryland) is a former right fielder and designated hitter in Major League Baseball who played in the American League from 1980 to 2001, and is best known for his three stints with the Chicago White Sox.
		Baines began his career with the White Sox as the number-one pick in the amateur draft in 1977, after being spotted by then-White Sox owner Bill Veeck while playing Little League ball at the age of 12.
		Prior to the 1993 season, Baines was traded by the A's to the Baltimore Orioles for minor league pitchers Bobby Chouinard and Allen Plaster.

	Harold Baines - BR Bullpen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Baines was considered a good right fielder with a strong arm early in his career, but never had much foot speed, and a knee injury he suffered at the end of 1986 relegated him to DH work for the rest of his career.
		Baines was the number one overall pick in the June 1977 amateur draft by the White Sox after batting.532 in his senior year at St. Michaels (Md.) High School (Baines continues to reside in St. Michaels to this day).
		Baines got off to a blistering start for the moribund 1989 White Sox, ranking among the league leaders in batting average and making the All-Star team, and on July 30, he was traded to the Rangers with Fred Manrique for Scott Fletcher and two minor league prospects, Wilson Alvarez and Sammy Sosa.

	Baseball Fever - which team for Baines?
		Baines had a fine, long career and was an excellent hitter in his prime, but comes up short in terms of the Hall of Fame, IMO.
		Harold had a long career and came up short of 3000 hits (he had 2866) but he did finish with 1628 career RBI's and every retired player, with the exception of Cal Ripken Jr., with at least 1600 RBIs is a member of the HOF.
		Harold Baines is the only player in history whose number was retired while he was still active -- with another team.

	Harold Baines \| BaseballLibrary.com
		One of the finest pure hitters of his time, Baines was a 12-year-old little leaguer in Easton, MD when he caught the eye of White Sox owner Bill Veeck.
		Baines stung the ball at a.440 clip and belted a ninth-inning homer off Jack Morris to win Game One, but the Athletics lost to Toronto in six games.
		Baines returned to the White Sox as a free agent in 1996, where he enjoyed another banner year, blasting 22 homers and driving in 95 runs while batting.311.

		Baines, a good hitter in his prime, sees 3000 hits and 400 home runs as his ticket to cooperstown,and probably his only way in...man,Im surprised the orioles havent bitten on this,just up their alley
		If Baines gets his 3,000, with his power, and is rejected, this will make a quiet guy the center of the biggest HOF controversy ever.
		Baines never was considered the best at his position, or even among the top three.

		Baines did more to put himself in HOF range in the late 1990s, and the most to extinguish his chances over the last two years.
		Harold Baines is not a Hall of Famer.
		Baines is as good or better than several players already in the Hall, but I do not believe he merits induction.

	Why Harold Baines Shouldn't Make the Baseball Hall of Fame
		Baines certainly wasn't the best AL outfielder in his prime (early to mid 80s).
		Baines made the playoffs 5 years, 1983, 1990, 1992, 1997 and 1999.
		Baines scores a 39 on the Hall of Fame standards test (average Hall of Famers score a 50).

	THE SOUTH SIDER
		If we want to measure Harold Baines as a Hall candidate, the first good test is to look at how he matches up with his "semi-contemporaries" who are already in the Hall.
		Baines' semi-contemporaries in Cooperstown are Dave Winfield, Reggie Jackson, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, George Brett, Tony Perez, Eddie Murray, Kirby Puckett and Mike Schmidt.
		The first objection offered against Harold Baines is that he spent most of his career as a designated hitter after multiple knee surgeries took him out of right field.

	Baines: Baltimore's quiet All-Star (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Baines, selected to be in the All-Star Game after Tampa Bay’s Jose Canseco had back surgery, has managed to play two decades despite six knee surgeries.
		Baines is averaging.345 with a.641 slugging percentage, both career highs if he continues the pace.
		By the time Baines returned to Baltimore in ‘97, all the Orioles had to give up was a minor-league shortstop, Juan Bautista, who never made it to the majors.

	Baseball Notebook: For Baines, Groundhog Day is July 29
		And if Baines, with 2,845 hits, keeps going, he may eventually be the answer to one of the most argued statistical oddities of the 21st century: Who is the only player with 3,000 hits not elected to the Hall of Fame?
		And there may be the greatest irony of all when one considers that Baines should have been out of the game a decade ago because of knee problems.
		Tuesday night, in Debut III with the White Sox, in typical Baines fashion, he went 2 for 4 with a run batted in in a 4-3 win in Texas.

	which team for Baines? - Baseball Fever
		If Harold Baines gets elected into the HOF I think he should go in as a White Sox player.
		If Harold Baines ever gets elected to the Hall of Fame I'd be more concerned over the flood of slightly above average players who would follow rather than whether or not they'd put him in as a White Sox (which, of course, they would).
		Interesting piece of trivia which is a strong indicator that Baines's main team association should be and is with the Chicago White Sox.

	ESPN talks about harOLD - White Sox Interactive Forums
		Baines is a class act, and was a good player for a long time.
		There's no way a team is gonna put Baines on their 25 man roster.
		Even if baseball expanded their rosters to 27 and changed the lineup from 9 hitters to 10 by adding another DH, Baines would still not make a MLB roster.

		As i first became a sox fan when i was 7 and had an idea what baseball was, Harold was my idol.
		no one is argueing that harold wasnt though..but when they brought him back for that last game they should have made a bigger deal out of it..if cal ripen got a seat and dirt from old comiskey harold should have gotten alot more..
		Harold may say that he hasn't retired yet and still believes he can play and all that garbage, but in reality, he will know that he has hung it up.
