For Tommy John, he should have played 3 more mediocre years and hurt his arm enough so he couldn't lift a pencil after retirement to get those 12 wins he needed to get to 300. He might as well had a record of 4 and 8242343524362 to the writers. Just like McGriff.

@mikekinsella2822 Год назад

its the HALL OF FAME and whats more famous then Tommy John surgery

@SconnerStudios Год назад

@@mikekinsella2822 Exactly. The writers never seem to add qualitative factors into consideration, only those numbers that have to reach certain milestones, not 3 hits or strikeouts short of the certain milestones. Remember that Jackie goddamn Robinson almost didn't get in his first ballot (though a few no votes were probably due to racism). Larry Doby didn't get elected until 1998. There should be a fan vote where fans elect 1 player every year who receives the most votes if the writers fail to elect anyone. So players like Curt Schilling or Carlos Beltran don't waste ballot space for 10 years because writers are petty and dumb. If the writers want to submit a blank ballot and write a "journalism" article on why they're so stunning and brave for not voting anyone, fine, but don't punish it for the rest of us. There's no point in even having a hall of fame if there isn't at least someone inducted every year.

Darrell Evans and HoJo belong in the Hall. The voters don't like Evans' batting average, but he's 13th all time in walks. Plus he's got 400+ HR's in a non-PED era. HoJo's got similar numbers to Jackie Robinson as well as being the only switch-hitter in MLB history with multiple 30/30 Clubs, which he had 3 of within 5 years. Plus he's got 2 rings with 2 different teams.

@Senrabekim Год назад

David Cone, has a Cy Young and a perfect game, that combo should kinda just bypass the vote. I think one of the biggest names that your list is missing is Lefty O'Doul. 5th all time for Career batting average .349 .413 on base (32nd all time) and .532 slg (50th all time) ops .945 (27th). Sure it was only an 11 year career, but you know what else he did? He introduced baseball to Japan. The Tokyo Giants are named such because Lefty last played for the New York Giants. No Lefty and we don't have Nomo, Ichiro, or Ohtani

I've been emailing numerous writers over the years saying Tommy John belongs there as I did for Jack Morris & Jim Kaat until they got in. Munson definetly needs to get in. He was the backbone of the great 70s Yankee teams. If Belle had his father's personality he would have gotten in. I heard his dad was a well liked coach years ago. Seems numerous players such as Cone aren't in because they had short stints with several teams. Noticed also that some players who spent a good portion of their careers playing for a Canadian or Florida teams teams get overlooked.

@Gemnist98 Год назад

Sorry man, but all of those guys fell off the ballot years, if not decades, ago. Emailing writers won’t do you any good because they can’t vote for them anymore.

@marcstevens8576 Год назад

I must disagree on your comment regarding Munson being a Hall Of Famer. True, he was on the same line as Bench & Fisk during the '70's, however, he didn't play long enough to be inducted. The only player who played fewer seasons & was inducted was old time pitcher Addie Joss, who put up numbers that stand to this day.

@danzemacabre8899 Год назад

Hershieser has one of those rare feats that with all his other numbers and awards should , imo, easily push him across the finish line for the hof, he had one of those dominating post seasons where he led his team to a world series victory. Slam dunk. Also Jim Edmonds was an elite player for most of his career and one of the top center fielders of his era , he should be in too.

Great show hummer!!!! Highly recommed!! I've been in despair again on account of the "extinct" centerfielder. Going the way of the knuckleballer, like he's an anomally, A mysterious extinct prehistoric ceature from lore. If Willie Mays were a young prospect today, he'd be forced to gain 25 pounds and play right field, he'd never steal, bunt, tag when dangerous. It would seem having five tools leads to injuries, so this player gets avoided in favor of big homer hitting thugs with far less D and OBP like its a home run derby now, not the game I played..

@iamhungey12345 Год назад

Wainwright may be in the list one day, those injuries he had each time he had a 20 win season really did a number to what his stats could have been. Even then a case can be made especially if he gets past 200 wins.

@brianchua4240 Год назад

Carlos Beltran was one of my favorite players to watch growing up. His career is definitely HOF worthy. It's a shame what he was involved in though. I was honestly about to go on a rant about you defending Beltran until you mentioned the part where everyone was doing it and this was in his final season of his MLB career. And the mere fact that Cora and Hinch still have a job is saying something about "consistency". For David Cone, aside from all the stats you mentioned, he was one of the true big game pitchers in the playoffs. There is no denying it. Appreciate you giving respect to Orel Hershiser. It's a shame that his run of pitching dominance didn't last long due to injuries and lack of run support in LA. How Carlos Delgado made only 2 All star teams was surprising. You hit the nail on the head for Thurman Munson. His HR numbers aren't great, but he was the main force in the Yankees' 70s titles. And Dwight Evans, 3x All Star, 8x Gold Glove award. People today quickly forget the cannon of an arm he had in right field. 385 home runs, nearly 2,500 hits, and his longevity was highly impressive.

As an Astros and Beltran fan, I say it is so much worse that he was the veteran on that team. Veterans are there to make sure stuff like that didn’t happen, not to take part of it, much less be a ringleader. I can’t support him getting in.

@take2rox 9 месяцев назад

Let’s keep in mind Beltran wasn’t just involved in the cheating scandal. He was the one who started it here in Houston. He brought it from New York. He was adamant about using the system. So really in all actuality, he was probably cheating for many years seeing that the Yankees were doing it and he brought that system here.

Ken Boyer: For example! This guy is an 11 time all star, 5 time gold Glover, and won an MVP, yet he has no plaque? What’s the BBWAA’s beef with 3rd Baseman? Him, Sal Bando, Graig Nettles, Dick Allen, and Buddy Bell are all huge snubs, and all at the same position! Dave Steib: He is both the best starting pitcher of the 80s, and the single greatest Blue Jay in franchise history, yet he’s not in the Hall! Bobby Abreu: I will die fighting to get him in, I don’t care. Nearly batted for a career .300 .400 .500 during the Steroid Era while being clean. He’s 20th on the all time walk list and also stole 400 bags. Hall of Famer, without question.

I did a video called Catcher X for the Hall that compared an unnamed catcher (Munson) to a player that I think will go right in to the Hall (Buster Posey). Very similar careers but munson was a bit better including number of games caught (for those thinking he didn't play long enough). Stop the madness I say!

Albert Belle was a beast among men if there was anybody I would be a little hesitant to pitch inside to it would be that guy. And my final remark has to do with Carlos Beltran I coached baseball for many years and starting at age 7 and 8 in Little League I made my players learn how to steal signs while on second base from the catcher they had to give location to the batter by a series of intricate signs such as pointing to the outside part LOL I hope that doesn't keep me out of the Hall of Fame

Jack Glasscock looks like Dr Phil with hair. You should have known that after Slim Sallee didn't make the Hall of Fame because he was only a reliever in his final season, he was a starter for the rest of his long career

@theprettyanxiouskoko6876 Год назад

Beltran is a top 10 post season performer as well...everyday player not including pitchers...

@mariocisneros911 Год назад

My list( as you can see I grew up in the late 60's and 1970's) , Tommy John , Lou Whittaker, Dwight Evan's, Dave Stieb, Ron Guidry, and Don Mattingly. I'd also like a to see Joe Jackson and Pete Rose. Thank you for the list of 19th century ballplayers I will now study. ( hopefully Mark Buerle and Paul Konerko 1 day). But others are deserving 1st.

@mikeevans5056 Год назад

Have you ever thought of Tom Henke on your list of snubs

@wajahatali1234 Год назад

Another banger of a mini docu by Erik. Okay so just listen me out on this ball player which i think at the very least deserves discussion regarding his HOF case. "Johnny Damon". Well over 2500 big league games if you count playoff games too (which ofcourse should be counted and he performed pretty well in them too). 2769 hits (over 500 doubles). .284 BA. Above .350 OBP. Over 400 stolen bags. Career .988 fielding percentage with a good amount played in CF. Multiple WS rings. Longevity wise he was durable and dependable, making every team he was a part of better with his presence. Not saying he was a super star and it is unbelievable he is not in the Hall, but cmon at the very least his stats deserve a look.

David Cone Pitched a prefect game.

@Trancymind 3 месяца назад

Orel Hershiser pitched a Game 7 complete shoutout vs Cone and the Mets in 1988 National League championship series. Talk about clutch.

@MichaelMikeTheRussianBot Год назад

Re Beltran, McGriff, Evans, & Rolen (& others to come), defense gets short-shrift. That one player can improve the whole pitching staff, & sometimes alter the opponents' play (& morale) , should count for more. & though a NYY fan, Dwight Evans was one of my favorite players when I was a kid, for the reasons you mention. . :)

@scottodonnell7121 Год назад

Like Mark Belanger. He was part of the reason the Brooks could make those great plays behind third. Mark went into the hole as well as anyone.

@thecaveman3503 Год назад

while i dont agree about Cone, Hershiser, or Belle, you do happen to make some good lists. keep it up

@atarijawa462 Год назад

No Jeff Kent in your top 10? MVP and most HR by a 2nd Basemen of all time?

@frederickvondrasek5618 11 месяцев назад

...gotta say, I was really into baseball in the seventies and eighties, and I was shocked to see Munson's name on the list. I just assumed he was in the Hall...

@neffiefrausto5544 Год назад

If David Cone is HOF caliber well then so is Fernando Valenzuela. There will never be another fernandomania. Growing up a kid in the 80s in Los Angeles Fernandomania took the city bye storm. I agree he doesn't have 300 wins l believe he has 179 but the impact he made to the game of baseball and to the city will never be matched especially after the Dodgers finally beat those dam Yankees in 1981 after loosing back to back in 1977 and 1978 to the Yanks without him and not to mention not only did the Dodgers beat the Yankees in 1981 but Fernando won the CY young award and rookie of the year he had career 2074 strikeouts 1 Gold Glove award, , 2 Silver Slugger awards and 7 all star appearances.

@billgrandone3552 10 месяцев назад

Well all I can say about the HOF nominators is that it took them FOREVER to realize the contributions of Gill Hodges both as a player with some of the greatest Dodger teams of the 1950's but the guy who took the prior worst franchise in baseball to the World Series Championship . So I don't give then a lot of credit for their picks.

@ChristopherBowenSuperbus Год назад

No Dave Stieb? I'd argue Stieb was better than Herscheiser and obviously better than other pitchers in the HOF (Morris, for starters). He was punished by playing in Toronto, more or less. I'd even say he has a better case than Cone. (And FWIW, yes, I thought this BEFORE the Secret Base video series)

@solowayguitars 10 месяцев назад

Hershiser absolutely should have been the 1988 MVP. Gibson was one of the weakest MVP's of his era.

@mikesbaseballcards Год назад

Saw Albert Belle play n he should be in. Same amount of seasons as Kirby Puckett! I saw Munson play numerous times at the Stadium n he was the spark plug for the Yanks. He was a leader. Dwight Evans definitely should be in.

@yolandasheerin2375 11 месяцев назад

compare Don Mattinglys stats to HOF Tony Oliva and Kirby Puckett + all the gold gloves. Also, Allie Reynolds merits alot of consideration from the old timers commitee

@ceciljustice7283 5 месяцев назад

Hey Hum baby, I got a list of guys that should be in the HOF, vida blue, Dwight Gooden, Jeff Reardon, John Olrud, Steve Finley, Andres Gallerrala, Garrett Anderson, Lance Perkman, Charlie Hough, Johan Santana, Jimmy Rollins, Torii Hunter, Jose Mesa, John Franco, Darryl Strawberry

@AntonXul 5 месяцев назад

I am moving close to Cooperstown soon. I went to visit the baseball hall of fame and noticed many items and stats they have for Fernando Valenzuela. I remember in the ‘80s he was a huge star. Yet he’s not in the hall of fame. They certainly love him, but not enshrined. For his run as a Dodger I think he should be in just like Orel Hershiser. What do you guys think? I know once he left L. A., he wasn’t the same. I myself stopped watching baseball in the ‘90s as I became a hockey fan after that and focused on that, but I remember him being huge in baseball and him not being in baffles me.

@bnegs521 4 месяца назад

They should both be in

Cone won the Cy yong in 1994 he was traded from the Mets to the Blue Jays in 1992 stretch run.

Very happy to see Belle on that list. At this point it is very easy for me to judge with one question, would I take them over Harold Baines? Yes to everyone so far.

@jasonlassiter9229 3 месяца назад

Wow! He didn’t even mention Dale Murphy, “Donny Baseball” Don Mattingly, or 500+ home run hitter Gary Sheffield. My top 5 snubs are: #5. Tommy John #4. Orel Hershiser #3. Dale Murphy #2. Don Mattingly #1. Gary Sheffield

Carlos Delgado should be in hopefully soon, might make a case for Dave Steib as well.

@richardbeatty8793 Год назад

im surprised the announcer didnt --mention evans defense--yeah he was a good hitter--tho--ugh not his first few years--but he had a cannon of an arm in right field--he should have mentioned how many players he threw out as well

@joebarr725 Год назад

Beltran finished in top ten in MVP voting exactly twice in his 20-year career. Never a dominant player. Not a Hall of Famer despite having a long career, big career numbers, and being an all-around player above average in all aspects of the game. A great inaugural inductee in the Hall of Very Good.

@userpage9641 Год назад

I know you mentioned the Thrill when you went through snubs on all MLB teams, where would you place him on your snubs list? I get Bonds as the obvious Giant that’s missing, so maybe the question should be out of the Giants that deserve the hall where’s Clark at on your list? Breaks my heart he’s not there. It was so great to watch him play. He had the kind of intense energy I wish all players had. His impact to the game touched a whole generation of fans and players. For me, Mattingly and Clark not having plaques just solidifies that voting from sports writers is a RIDICULOUS notion.

@Gemnist98 Год назад

For me, in terms of Giants players, he’s third most deserving, after Bonds and Jeff Kent. Although, Mattingly is just out of reach when looking at his stats (but will probably be a veteran pick anyways because the Hall is biased towards Yankees).

@userpage9641 Год назад

@@Gemnist98 I hear you for sure. All 3 are great Giants. I’m biased about Will because he was so impactful on my life, but Kent also deserves the nod. Regarding Don Mattingly, I just think his impact on New York city and baseball as a whole during his great years is enough to warrant the hall. Statistics are important no doubt about that but there are certain intangible qualities that a Hall of Famer should possess. Don Mattingly is a Hall of Famer.

@johnparsons1573 Год назад

Totally agree with Dwight Evans

@MichaelMikeTheRussianBot Год назад

Rolen made it in? "Bout time ! :) ( & fyi, I'm not a Cardinals fan, & am in NYS. Saw him plenty of times, playing vs NYM )

@unkledoda420 Год назад

There's always gonna be guys who are borderline HoFers. If all these guys get voted in then there will just be a new list of the best guys who got "snubbed". Eventually it'll get to the point like it was back when the HoF was voting in every halfway decent player from the dead ball era. Besides a few exceptions (a lot of modern CF for whatever reason have been snubbed, Jim Edmonds, Dale Murphy, Torii Hunter, Carlos Beltran, Kenny Lofton, Andruw Jones all should get in, also a few closers like Billy Wagner), I'm ok with where the current cutoff seems to be, in that 60 WAR range. Any lower and it becomes the hall of pretty good. It should only be the best of the best, not every player who ever made more than one all star game.
