Pierce played in the majors from 1945, 1948-1964 for the Tigers, White Sox and Giants. He twice won 20 games (in 1956 and 1957) and retired with a record of 211-169, 3.27 ERA and 1,999 strikeouts. Looks to me like he was a pretty good pitcher who should get a little more love for the Hall of Fame. Not saying he should get in outright, but a little more thought toward it, maybe. His HOF balloting was unimpressive (5 years on the ballot and averaged 1.36% of the vote), but I can think of recent pitchers getting much more support with similar numbers.

WIlliam - you have been on fire with your TTM's lately. COngratulations!
Thanks man. Getting a little harder to find out who I should send to next. I need to sit down and do a little more research for the next batch, I think.
