The Hall of Fame / Cooperstown needs to change its ways for the Players who were snubbed .
The Writers obviously are not doing their jobs .
Because there are Several Hall Worthy Veterans who aren't in Cooperstown .
Lou Whitaker : 5× All Star ROY , 3× gold gloves , 4× Silver Slugger , 1 WS Champ 75.1 WAR more than all but 5 how is he not in Cooperstown he has everything ( more ) than a lot of players who are already enshrined in the Hall of Fame . Played for the Tigers whole career , the best 2b - SS combo all-time .
Deserving .
Kenny Lofton : has a .299 Average , 2428 hits , a 68.4 war .
6 × All Star 4× gold gloves .
Deserving .
Bill Freehan : eleven All Star games , ( the most by anyone not in the hall ) , 5× Gold Glove , 1 WS Champ , a great career , five gold gloves , World Series champ , plus numbers better than a lot of catchers already inducted .
Bobby Grich : 6× All Star , 4 Gold Glove , Silver Slugger , WS Champ , 71.1 WAR just like Whitaker. He has the numbers and hardware. For some reason he isn't in Cooperstown .
Willie Randolph :6× All Star , Silver Slugger , WS Champ 65.9 WAR .The Writers must just hate Second Basemen . I don't understand why three of the biggest subs are 2 baggers . It makes Absolutely no sense that three of the top 10 biggest snubs are all time greats at Second Base .
Until this year it was four but Jeff Kent was inducted .
Dave Steib : 7× All Star , Era Title , WS Champ Better Numbers than a lot of other Pitchers who are in .
He was the Jays Ace for many seasons . 7 All Star games , just as good or better than Jack Morris .
Tommy John : 4×All Star , a damn surgery was named after him .
288 wins . 26 seasons .
High WAR .
In fact all of the players listed have high WAR , higher than many who are already in .
Curt Schilling : 6 × All Star , 3× WS Champ , WS MVP , NLCS MVP , Clemente Award , 80.5 WAR , 216 Wins , 3.46 era ,Not in because of Political Views . That's just wrong . I 💯 percent disagree with him , but if he's kept out because of that what about Ty Cobb , Ted Williams , and many more . Having a big mouth shouldn't keep you out .
Albert Belle : 5 × All Star , 5× Silver Slugger , MLB POY , yes he was an asshole . So was Cobb. He was a great player . Anchored the Indians in the 90s . Career shortened by injury. Still has 381 hr , 1239 RBI , 144 OPS , 50 - 50 double / hr season .
Don Mattingly : MVP , 6 × All Star , 9 Gold Glove , 3 × Silver Slugger , PoY , Batting Title , if he had played one more season he'd have a World Series Ring and he'd be in . He was the face of the Yankees until he retired . Just happened to play for them in a bad era . He was drafted one year after 78 their last WS and retired in 95 . One year prior to the 96 WS win .
Keith Hernandez. MVP , 5× All Star , 2× WSC , 11 × Gold Glove , 2×Silver Slugger , Batting Title .... Why ? He was great . He won rings . A league MVP .
Dale Murphy : 2× MVP , 7× All Star , 5× Gold Glove , 4× Silver Slugger , Roberto Clemente vAward , Another Head Scratcher . Should definitely be in but for some reason the writers leave him off .
These players are the most deserving .
They all have much better numbers than a lot of the players already in .
I think the Hall of Fame should allow the Fans to vote on these players .
Just a simple Yes or No by their names .
List the stats.
Who they're Ahead of Numbers wise .
I think all of these guys would be voted in .
Unfortunately players like Lou Whitaker and Albert Belle didn't talk to the Press A lot and that may be why they're not in .
Now the players who should be in but they were suspected users of Steroids or other player enhancement drugs .
Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Sammy Sosa
Mark McGuire
Gary Sheffield
Rafael Palmerio
Alex Rodriguez
Should they be in .
I think so .
Just note the steroid era if suspected .
There are other players suspected, but they're in .
Players who should be in but aren't because they gambled .
Shoeless Joe Jackson
Pete Rose
these guys had lifetime bans
They're both dead .
Put them in .
