Who are your top 3 post war non HOFers? Not meant to be a thread about who SHOULD be in, as I think it's already overstuffed.

The numbers probably won't bear me out, but my picks would be Hodges, Oliva and Garvey.

Fred McGriff
Dale Murphy
Don Mattingly

Murphy and Mattingly here as well. A half decade of being pretty much the main offensive force in your league does it for me.

When considering a player I ask, "Could we tell the story of baseball in this player's time without mentioning him?"

In the case of Dale Murphy and Don Mattingly, I don't think one could discuss 1980's baseball without mentioning these two studs.

Alan Trammell
Gil Hodges
Ted Simmons

It's a travesty that Simmons dropped off so quickly. Yes, he was average defensively but the guy could hit. Put him up against any catcher of that era outside of Bench.
