should get in and thus, Edgar (Gar) Martinez should pave the way and become the first main DH to be elected into the HOF when he becomes eligible in 2010. Sure, Paul Molitor is in and he played some DH and so did a few other players who are in, but after the first 4 or 5 years of his career, Edgar became the most dominant DH in history for the final 13 years of his career. He played his entire career with the Seattle Mariners from 1987-2004, and his career numbers were: 2,055 Games, 7,213 At Bats, 1,219 Runs, 2,247 Hits, 514 Doubles, 15 Triples, 309 HR's, 1,261 RBI's, 1,283 Walks, 1,202 Strikeouts, .312 Batting Average, .418 On Base % and .515 Slugging %. Wow, awesome numbers. Edgar was an all-star 7 times, Silver Slugger Award winner for the AL 5 times, American League Batting Champion 2 times in '92 and '95, and many other statisical category leaders.
