Khokar Among Greats in PL HOF Monday, March 6th , 2062 United States Premier League's most exclusive club has a new member -- reliever Joe Khokar is now in the Hall of Fame. The famed bullpen specialist earned his induction with 55 saves, 152 game appearances and a 2.50 ERA in his brilliant career. Khokar also compiled a 18-13 record and struck out 234 batters in 223.1 innings. He retired from baseball when he was 40. It is a rarity for a reliever to be inducted. The voters seem to favor starting pitchers over relief specialists, but not this year. Khokar expressed his opinion in his induction speech. "We can't compete with their statistics, their innings and their strikeouts. It's like comparing a shortstop's numbers against a first baseman or an outfielder. We're just playing a different position. But I think without relievers, it's tough to win." |
