Thurman Munson? Just because you play for the Yankees does not mean that you should be in the Hall of Fame. From his ERA alone, I will take Bench, Fisk and Carter over him.

Cecil Travis- skills eroded by service in World War II (Battle of the Bulge)

He led the AL in hits in 1941 and finished second in batting average that year as well.

Nice blog. I didn't care for the Double Play cards at first, but have grown to like them as I have picked up a few over the past couple of years.

No scandal here, but being a Twins guy I'm pushing for Tony Oliva

Default how about...
I honestly think Roger Maris should be in the HOF. What he means to baseball records and baseball history. Come on, he was an MVP.

Bo Jackson - was simply AWESOME!

I am not a Munson hater...and think with a few more productive years he would have been worthy of consideration, but another from this era that REALLY gets overlooked is Ted Simmons. His stats are right in line with many catchers in the HOF, but few people even remember him.

I have said many times that Simmons numbers are right up there with the all time greats at that position. It really is a shame he gets overlooked.
