Why do you guys say that? One thing I know about him is this.
https://www.mlb.com/news/ted-williams-hall-of-fame-speech-honored-negro-league-players
(I guess his speech is marginally undermined by his words about Yawkey, but he was hardly alone there.)

i guess it's just recency bias (as in, i recently learned about it), but he seems to have really gone out of his way to fuck gil hodges over by refusing to let roy campanella (one of the HOF voters that year for the veteran's committee, I think) vote via phone, even though campanella was very ill and died a couple months later. campanella would have been the 12th and clinching vote.
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 18 December 2021 16:38 (four years ago)
Been reading up--didn't know that. I agree with him that Hodges was a weak candidate, but that does seem petty (not to mention not letting someone in a wheelchair vote by phone). Must be some decades-long grudge.

rube was a nickname for a country bumpkin but marquard was a city boy, and people called him that because he reminded them of another lefty pitcher, rube waddell

damn it's been a minute since i really followed baseball and i never wouldve guessed that's matt carpenter! it's amazing what a beardless mustache does for a guy's look. take all those pesky ad patches off the uniform, run that thing through a sepia filter, and it would fit right in on a goudey gum card from the 1920s (ok the uniform fit is a bit off)
