Maz's D certainly earns him a place in the Hall. I think he had the fastest pivot ever - something like 0.6 seconds from receiving the throw to releasing the ball. And a sure way to get injured was to try and take him out on a DP. It was like sliding into a building.

(From a lifelong Yanks fan who believes the Baseball Hall of Fame is misnamed through exclusion, from it's membership, of the most prolific hitter in the history of the game.)
