Most importantly, Durocher was suspended for the entire 1947 season by commissioner Happy Chandler for associations with known gamblers. Look at what happened with Pete Rose, a man who actually did have Hall of Fame worthy credentials. He was kicked out of baseball for life. Durocher, despite his bad reputation and low winning percentage, did make the Hall of Fame, and right when the Pete Rose story was big news.
My opinion: Leo Durocher is not a Hall of Famer.
