Bobby Orr, you should know, is one of the greatest hockey players of all time.  He was a huge prospect before he hit the NHL.  He made the NHL at age 18.  He won the Calder Trophy for rookie of the year.  And in his 2nd through his 9th season won the Norris Trophy for best defensemen.  In his 10th season, he played 10 games, followed by 20 games, 0, and then finally 6.  When The Hockey News commissioned a panel to vote on the 50 greatest hockey players of all time, it was a foregone conclusion that the top three would be, in some order, Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, and Gordie Howe.  (Bobby Orr’s last full season was at age 27.  Gordie Howe played in the NHL until he was 52.) Orr ended up 2nd, ahead of Howe. 

In hockey, as I suspect in virtually all other sports, individual or team, the greatness of a player is established on the peak a player has reached and how long he was able to stay there.  Orr is still the standard for greatest defensemen ever, even though Larry Robinson, Raymond Bourque, and Niklas Lidstrom can make claims for longer careers, and even reaching peaks, for a short while, that matched Bobby Orr.  It’s Bobby Orr, and no one in hockey, and no one that follows hockey, would say otherwise.

In baseball however, it seems to be different.  Sandy Koufax would seem to be an exception.  For the guys who burned bright for 6-9 years, they are considered afterthoughts, be it Bret Saberhagen, or Ron Guidry, or Dwight Gooden, or David Cone, or Orel Hershiser.  And those are just pitchers from my generation.

Roy Halladay, from 2001-present, aged 24-33, has reached the level that he could retire tomorrow, and when we ask for the greatest pitcher of his generation (players born 1972-1982), he would come out as #1.  He doesn’t have to do anything else.  He’s done all that needs to be done, and like Bobby Orr, it doesn’t matter if he’s matched up against a Gordie Howe career.

Roy Halladay currently has 53 WAR in his career, which puts him at #1 among pitchers born within 5 years of him.  Among pitchers with fewer IP than Doc, only Johan might catch up to him.

I’m more interested in his age 24-33 performance.  Among all pitchers in history, Halladay’s 53 WAR puts him 14 all-time (he might end up 13th by the end of this year).  And that, to me, to all non-baseball sports fans, is enough to make him a Hall of Famer.  He has a 147-70 record, he has a 3.05 ERA, he’s given up runs at 68% of the league average.  Those numbers seem “weak” for a Hall of Fame career.

He has nothing left to prove.  He’s been at the top and he’s been there a long time.  It doesn’t matter if for the next 5 years he ends up at 50-50, and finishes his career at 197-120, or if he blows out his arm tomorrow.  It’s irrelevant.

To baseball fans though, likely unique to baseball fans, it may definitely matter.  To a baseball fan, putting Orr right in between Gretzky and Howe would be irrational.

Roy Halladay should be an automatic selection to the Hall of Fame, if his career were to end tomorrow.

Now, Albert Pujols, an even better Bobby Orr equivalent reached HOF status after his sixth or seventh season.  But, let me make the case for a 10-yr peak before we talk about a seven year peak.
