Jeter is a lock should not be on list.
Arod is WAY too low. Hersheiser too high. Rolen too low. Reuschel should be higher on the list. |
Agreed Peter.
Manny Ramirez is way too low as well. Clemens, the greatest pitcher of all time ( arguably ), should be first followed by Bonds, ARod, and Manny. |

Albert Belle is too low, like him or not he was a better hitter than many of the guys ahead of him.
|
Nomar is always ranked low if you ask me. The years he put up before he turned 30 were on equal standing with Mattingly's peak.
|
Reggie Smith isn't even on the list and he's in my top 5 of guys not in along with Reuschel and Dewey.
|
Probably my favorite player ever, but in fairness Doc is too high given the more legit names below his.
Mattingly is very surprising to me at #2, again considering the names he's ahead of. Heartening to see Keith at #13. Higher than I would have hoped. Another personal favorite. I agree that Jeter seems low. Not a personal fave, but I do like his chances of making it someday. :) |
What I find interesting is to think back to that time period and who, at the time, was considered a lock for the hall of fame.
Obviously Pete Rose, but who in 1980 thought Fred Lynn and Dave Parker wouldn't be first ballot shoe-ins. And were Gary Carter Carlton Fisk really that much better than Lance Parrish? |
