Is there really a Yankee bias when it comes to the Hall of Fame? As much as I love to hate the Yankees, in my lifetime I've seen several borderline hall of fame Yankees who seem like they would have gotten in if there truly was a bias.
Thurman Munson, Don Mattingly, Graig Nettles, Rod Guidry, Willie Randolph were all really good players on championship teams yet none of them are in. Munson especially surprises me.
When I was a kid Dale Murphy was like Steve Garvey, who was like Graig Nettles, who was like Dave Parker. It seemed like they were all going to be HOF'ers eventually, but instead they put in Burt Blyleven - who never seemed like a hall-of-famer.
