Oh what should have been...
Don Mattingly...sure hope he gets the ring as a manager that eluded him as a player...

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!

Roger Maris
I think Roger Maris should be in. He had great stats and was a great clutch hitter that the stats do not show. He was also a standup guy and the definition of a class act. I mean come on, you can't tell me that Dizzy Dean got into the hall based on his numbers alone. Some of it was the personalty that he had and the fans he had as a announcer after he retired.
Also, what was the scandal that tarnished Maury Wills after he retired as a player? Just curious. Tony Turner

I'm still waiting for someone to prove to me, based on statistical analysis and not simply the opinion that he didn't play long enough or hit enough home runs in spacious Comiskey Park, that Minnie Minoso is not worthy of the Hall of Fame. Stats guru Bill james agrees and says he's the best eligible player outside Cooperstown. If you doubt me, compare his stats to those of Richie Ashburn, an outfielder from the same era. It's not even close. In fact, his OPS is better than Roberto Clemente, Ernie Banks or Enos Slaughter. As for his glove, he was part of the initial class of Gold Glove winners ... an honor that eluded Clemente and Ashburn. For more about baseball's most underappreciated player, here is a long ramble by me on the subject ...

I'll throw in for Cecil Travis as well. I think someone whose career was stunted by WW2 service should receive extra special consideration.
I'll go for Joe Wood too. I'll take a relatively short period of dominance and extreme excellence (e.g. Koufax, Dean) over numbers compiled though longgevity (e.g. Niekro) any day.

No love for Murph?
How about Dale Murphy? MVP twice, etc., and living a life you'd want your kids to know about.
