How many articles has ESPN run in the past 12 years saying Lee Smith should be in the HOF for being the "regular season saves" leader?
I've looked for a couple of hours but can't find any. ESPN on their website, television, ESPN.com articles, personnel on radio interviews, etc. gives coverage worth millions of dollars to raise the image of Trevor Hoffman for HOF, yet I find no evidence of this advocacy for Lee Smith. I mention it because ESPN's main sales point for Hoffman is the "regular season total saves" stat.
But Lee Smith had the "regular season total saves" record for many years apparently without a multi-million dollar HOF campaign for him by the single voice of baseball, ESPN. The injustice has been mentioned in passing by Joe Morgan, but he won't make an issue of it. (He likes the checks from ESPN).
In researching this laugher, I found Lee Smith still leads in GF with 802. ESPN?
