I assume steroid suspicion has kept Bagwell out, no? Otherwise he seems pretty obvious.
My reasoning on Hodges Oliva and Garvey is that they were each pretty dominant players for a decade or close to it, although they didn't quite put together the big career numbers. I guess Mattingly fits that bill too. Last edited by Peter_Spaeth; 06-11-2016 at 02:17 PM. |

If I had to name just 3 players I would go with:
Al Oliver .303 BA, 2743 Hits in 18 seasons Buddy Bell .279 BA, 2514 Hits in 18 seasons Del Ennis .284 BA, 2063 Hits in 14 seasons Others would include: Lou Whitaker Mark Grace Rusty Staub I just think it's amazing how many players have good/great stats that seem to be overlooked just because they don't play on great teams or are overshadowed by bigger stars of the era.

I agree with Raines and have always possessed a bias for Scoop. Is there anyone who owns 4 batting titles other than Madlock not in the hall?

If you're asking about who I think the best players are who aren't in and don't belong, I'd say Pete Runnels, Fred Lynn and Jackie Jensen. The best who aren't in and who do belong IMPO are Gil Hodges, Dom DiMaggio and Billy Pierce.

My top two are Steve Garvey and Dale Murphy.
There are several others who I feel should be in the HOF (and are past their BBWAA eligibility), but are too close to break down at #3, including Tommy John, Jim Kaat, Luis Tiant, Ted Simmons, Thurman Munson, Keith Hernandez, Fred McGriff, Minnie Minoso, Gil Hodges..... Steve
