I'm glad he decided to hang it up rather than find another team to play for. He probably would have had a poor season, and the one team legacy would have disappeared.

Definitely a throw-back kind of player. Will miss seeing him play (even though I am NOT a Yankee fan)

HOF'er in my opinion

Hall of the Very Good... Doesn't measure up to the likes of Berra, Bench, Piazza, Carter or Fisk. He's just another great Yankee that sits on the outside looking in like Don Mattingly, Bernie Williams and Ron Guidry.

I think there is room for him in this group:

Baseball Hall of Fame Catchers

Jorge Posada ranks TOP10 in postseason history in Games -Runs Hits- Doubles & RBI's !!!!
( yes, I understand about the wildcard, etc..)

Butch Wynegar gets in before Posada does

Yes there are some questionable catchers already in, not a good reason to put another one in.

jackstraw

Ted Simmons should be in before him.

Thank you Jackstraw, Ted Simmons should be in the hall of fame. It is just wrong that he is not! So many of his numbers are as good or better than the other guys of his era that got in. Just wrong!

agreed on ted simmons....he should be in as well...
