He was content to be strictly a long-distance shooter and wasn't willing to put in the work to do it all. He never got better at the other parts of the game, and never spent hours every off-season working on a specific new skill to bring into the next season.
One-tool Larry they still call him to this day.
Bobby Orr was content to be simply an offensive defenseman. He never concerned himself with playing an all-around game including dominating and punishing defense. He never bothered to block shots or play injured or anything like that. Nah.
One-tool Bobby was selfish that way.
Tom Brady never had a driving passion to work harder than everyone else, year after year, to understand the game and be better prepared than everyone around him, to set an example for the entire team to follow. Nah, he was always most concerned with photo ops on game day, including during the game. All he could ever do was throw a dink-and-dunk to the back.
One-tool Tommy.
DH'ing is, at best, taking extra batting practice. Have you seen the clips of DH's goofing off as they "practice" playing first base? Hur hur!! look at me!! i iz unprofessional clown throwing underhand so not to hurt my pretty shoulder. But I iz so funny! look at me smile!
Wheat from chaff moment here. Wheat says no full-time DH in the Hall as it's not a real position. Chaff says yes, while still arguing that PEDs "can't help you hit a baseball".
At the very least, hopefully this is the end of the "which of these things doesn't belong" question. The answer is objective and obvious.
