Hall of Fame SNUBS From ALL 30 MLB TEAMS - How Are These Guys Not In the HOF!?!? 

Update: Fred McGriff has been elected to the Hall of Fame

The "Cobra" Dave Parker is not in the best of shape today, because he suffers from Parkinson's disease. Keep him in your prayers. Parker was a mountain of a man and a beast in his playing days.

The fact that Fred McGriff is not in the Hall of Fame is criminal. The guy had an excellent career and finished 7 HR's short of 500 for his career. It boggles the mind that he's not in.

Something even more impressive about Billy Wagner is that he threw left-handed despite being a natural righty, he broke his right arm twice as a kid and taught himself to throw with his left hand.

Dale Murphy. Who was better for a decade? 2 mvp. 5 Gold gloves. Great teammate. 400hr 1200+ rbi. Yes his later years were not great but he was amazing for an awful team. And this coming from a Mets fan.

Also, thank you for choosing Kenny Lofton. A completely underrated player and one of my favorites from the 90s.

Glad you mentioned Helton. After doing extensive research Tod Helton is the ONLY PLAYER IN MLB HISTORY to hit 39+ doubles in nine consecutive seasons!

As a kid, Mark Grace was one of my guys. Loved watching him play. Great fielding percentage. I’ve .300 career BA. 2445 hits. Not a power hitter, but put the ball in play. I believe he didn’t get the respect he deserved, receiving only 4.1% of votes.

Lou Whitaker got hosed because he didn't talk to the press a lot and he played in Detroit. If he had put up the same numbers for the Yankees he would be in. Everyone in Detroit wanted to see him go in along side Alan Trammell since they made up the longest running SS/2B combo in baseball history. Normally the Tigers won't retire a number unless that player makes the HOF but they are correcting that omission on August 6th, 2022, and I will be in attendance. Hopefully, the Veterans Committee will do the right thing the next time Lou's name comes up. As for Shoeless Joe, he got caught up with the wrong folks but he took his licks and never made any fuss over his fate. I recall reading an account where he was running a liquor store and Ty Cobb stopped by. Joe looked away at first and tried to act like Ty was any other customer until Ty came up and shook his hand. He said he just came by to see how Joe was making out. Joe meekly said, "I figured none of you guys would want to be seen with me." That story said a lot about Joe and a lot about Ty. Ty Cobb got a bum rap from a washed up drunk who couldn't get a job writing for any of the papers in New York. So he made up a bunch of stuff about Ty Cobb after Ty passed away and couldn't defend himself, passing it off as the truth. Kind of like people painted Joe as being a selfish guy who cheated for the money. I would have no problem letting Joe in, but baseball won't do it because if they let him in they have to let Pete Rose in and Pete, despite his ability, did flaunt the rules because he thought he was above them and he did continue make a lot noise after the fact. Two different men, two different times.

Massive oversight to not use Dave Steib as the Blue Jays snub. Jeff Kent never really played for them and Steib had a higher WAR over his career.

Loved it! Well done! But I was hoping you'd find a place for Tommy John. Tommy John had a 26-year career. Only Nolan Ryan had a longer career (27 years). When he pitched his last game, he was 46 years old-the oldest active player in Major League Baseball that season. Tommy John has 288 career wins, 164 of those wins came after his famous surgery and pitched a full season following his surgery after taking a year off to rehabilitate. Tommy John has 188 no-decisions for his career. That achievement is a major-league record. Pitched an amazing 162 complete games. Named to four all-star teams and pitched in three worlds series for the Dodgers in 77-78 losing to the Yankees and 81 for the Yankees losing to the Dodgers. He was on the HoF ballot for 15 years but never crossed the 75% threshold to be inducted. TOMMY JOHN SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME!

It is crazy that Carlos Delgado even gets snubbed from being on a list of snubs. 15+ year career with an .OPS of .929 with 473 HRs. Never really got injured and never was implicated for PEDs.

I don't get Mattingly either. He has basically the same numbers as Puckett. Plus the fact that Posada couldn't stay on more than one year astounded me. He had the same 7 year peak as Pudge Rodriguez says that defense does matter

Jim Kaat is going into the HOF this year

My honorable mention is Rusty Staub. Very underrated player for his era.

Anyone who has a problem with Barry bonds not being in the Hall of Fame just remember Ken Griffey Jr who is a contemporary hit over 600 and did it clean he accepted the fact that he was injury prone at the back end of his career and still did not take a shortcut so Barry bonds deserve what he gets

Someone else that could have been considered for the BoSox: Dwight "Dewey" Evans. 3X All Star, 8 Gold Gloves, 2 Silver Sluggers.

Dick Allen, absolutely. Got to see him a lot

Steve Garvey should be in. Very consistent player. The only thing that actually stands out as a negative (this is just my opinion) a slugging average around 4.40 is pretty low at the first base position. But he still had six 200 hit seasons. Was almost on all winning teams, and hit around 1,300 rbis. Fred McGriff definitely needs to be in with almost 500 homeruns, around 1,500 rbis. Bonds, McGwire ( one of my favorites), and Sosa, no. Bonds was already a hall of famer, but that wasn't enough. He was incredibly dominant. But where do you draw the line if you reward cheaters??? Steroids I believe has nothing to do judging rather a pitch is a fastball or back door slider. But such muscle enhancement stuff you think will make the ball go farther. Will turn a double into a 420 foot homer. Just my thoughts. If they get into the hall ...well I won't loose any sleep over it lol.

The #1 for me is Shoeless Joe. It's never been proven he was involved like the others. Having the stats that he did during that Series proves it.

You could add Tony Oliva to the Twins list. AL Rookie of the Year, 3x batting titles, 8x All-Star... Side note, there are only 4 Twins in the HOF that played primarily for the Twins. The HOF selection process needs a revamp. Maybe they need to accumulate those players who have been selected into their team's HOF and start there.

Some interesting points, but with a few exceptions these guys belong in the "Hall of Very Good," not the Hall of Fame.

Evidence for bonds use goes back to 93 when after 5 years he magically gained 15 lbs of muscle. Saying he was tempted by Sosa and McGuire is ridiculous and refusing to realize he was juicing heavier, not starting to juice, in the late 90s

As a Bay Area resident when Barry Bonds was on the Giants, I remember telling my sons that he was trading his HOF chances for steroid assisted records. Everyone knew he was dirty and those who select the Hall of Famers will not forgive. I’m sure he regrets his actions, but it is too late now.

Mlb's ridiculous on putting people into the hall. Just look at the numbers and not about politics, popularity or personal reasons. Just look at the loyalty of the game, numbers and dominance. Good video bro.

Great video, great content! Fred McGriff deserves to be a hall of famer! Would love to see him in as a Blue Jay.

I think another good mention for the blue jays is Dave Steib who’s probably the best pitcher of the 80’s.

Great video as I rewatched it! Great to see McGriff, Rolen & Kaat in! I’d love to see former Expos & Mets Rusty Staub in…2700+ hits, 6x all-star, 23 seasons, almost 300 HRs, Mets HOFer & Canadian Baseball HOFer! Sadly, he passed away!

Fun video. I'm happy that you mentioned Dale Murphy and I would disagree with you on the pick though. Dale Murphy was back to back MVP. The ball was juiced by MLB to create more home runs. MLB denies this, blah blah, there's no telling how many HRs Murphy might have hit. He was also a gold glove with a cannon for an arm. One hoppers to home plate from the warning track, consistently! Above all though he was back to back MVP and I think it's important to weigh each class against there peers, not history and not whether or not they made it to the post season. Fun video man. Maybe we need to create a shadow HOF for all the gamblers and boozers. Or just add on to Pete Rose's shack. Lol

Jim Kaat just got in, so you nailed that one lol

Glad to hear some love for Al Oliver, as well as Bobby Grich. Bill Buckner would have been a great choice for either the Dodgers, Cubs, or Red Sox, if not for Clemens. One more thing, nobody ever mentions Joe Carter as an HOF snub. How many 30 hr 100 rbi seasons does a man need to have? Oh, and that rather important HR in the 93 series.

Great list. Ted Kluszewski is definitely worthy of mention. His home runs rbi's and batting average were fantastic. 3 times(more tan anyone else) he hit more homeruns than strikeouts for the season. Only a back injury like Mattingly kept his stats down. He was also a gold glove winner. Check it out.

You could've said Boog Powell for Baltimore instead of Raphael Palmero 1970 MVP 2X World Series Champ 4x All Star 339 Home Runs 1187 RBI's

Idk how Kent is not in the HOF. His stats are HOF. If playing in Denver slows Helton from making the HOF, playing at AT&T as a power hitter should help Kent’s case. Best offensive 2nd baseman in history.

Saying that a steroid user deserves to get into the Hall of Fame is like saying that Lance Armstrong deserves to get his 7 Tour de France wins back.

Nice to see Sweet Lou on this list. Ppl are slowly understanding his value with modern stats

You nailed it 100%.Mattingly , one of the best hitters I ever saw and I’m a Red Sox fan.

Don Mattingly is my favorite to get in the Hall of Fame! Andrew Jones and Joe Jackson are great picks too!

I can't believe Dave Stieb even got snubbed in the "people who got snubbed" list

Crime Dog also played with Shef for 2 seasons at San Diego. His finishing batting stance on homers alone should put him in HOF. Glad to hear he has now made it in.

I agree with everything you said about Helton. It's a travesty, and completely insane he's not gotten the call as of yet. Best long time player with Colorado by a pretty wide margin. Walker's numbers ballooned up the moment he got there, but he WAS decent enough in Montreal.

For Toronto, there is only one choice for the snub and that is Carlos Delgado. As well, I am not sure how A-Rod did not make it on this list either.

I want a Hall of Fame that represents the story of baseball. Don't exclude the bad. Just tell the story, good and bad. That should be the reason for the existence of the Hall.

Fantastic video. Appreciate your passion, knowledge, and reasoning. Gotta believe you're helping to right some wrongs based on recent inductions. Looking forward to the update. God bless.

If Clemons,Bonds, Sosa and McGwire can't get in.... Remove Bud Selig. You can't oversee an entire generation of baseball that tainted and get a pass and a bust in the hall.

Great video! I agree with your stance on steroids. That being said, I would have put Juan Gonzalez in for the Texas Rangers. He was right up there with Griffey and McGwire for best homerun hitters of the 90's.

In addition to Parker from the Pirates, you could have added Bill Madlock.

I was happy to see you mention Quisenberry, Oliver, Parker, Grich, Murphy, and Cooper. It seems like all these years later people seem to have forgotten how great these players were. From that same era, I would add Concepcion and Madlock, and maybe pitcher Mike Marshall (a reliever who once pitched in 106 games in one season). Great video!

For the Astros I think Oswalt is the best choice. 50 WAR in a little over a decade. According to the Hall of Stats site, which he's in with a 106 rating, he's the 4th best Astro ever and the 79th best pitcher ever. And as a bonus he was excellent in the playoffs with an NLCS MVP.

Loved the video Erik my favorite since the Giants homerun one

Thanks for the memories and the stroll through baseball history. It’s sad that so many greats have been denied their rightful place in Hall. ⚾️

THANK YOU for including Kenny Lofton!! Cordero, Vizquel, Thome, Manny....Lofton was the SCARIEST guy on those 90's Indians squads....if you hit the ball of the 2nd base bag, you were out, period. He stole some bases, but, you'll not find many overall baserunners--he DIDN'T make mistakes on the bases!!

Yup knew it was gonna be Helton before I clicked on the video. Walker made it in so there's hope for Todd. Great video!

I 100% agree with a good amount of these also your honorable mention of Dave steib. One of the most dominant pitchers of that era, got snubbed for the Cy young multiple times, really interesting story and the unluckiest no hit bid pitcher of all time lmao

Well done. Love the energy!

If it weren't for the strike in 1994, Fred McGriff probably gets those 7 home runs to reach 500. I think Tony Gwynn was like 5 points short of .400 and you know he could've pulled it off.

I feel like you could’ve tried putting Clemens somewhere else in order to put Dwight Evans in this. I’m pining for him to get in almost as much as Walker a couple years ago and Helton and Rolen currently. Otherwise this is definitely a great list.

Erik - I agree with you on Sheffield....I have always wondered though had we not traded for Sheffield and kept Trevor Hoffman would the Marlins fate been better.....people always forget Hoffman was a Marlin before a Padre

I love this video and most of the vids on your channel. I agree with many of your choices and this is an extension of the HOF to me.

Love the passion in your commentary

The "Hall of Average" players is what this list is mostly of.

To quote Bob Feller: "We don't want any cheaters in the HOF!" Both Pete Rose and Joe Jackson should be inducted into the HOF before ANY cheater is even mentioned for it.

For most of these guys, it’s the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of the Very Good.

Pete rose will get in but most likely after his death especially after that PR fiasco a few weeks ago when the philes decided to invite him to celebrate the world series win that he was part of. But he has the most MLB hits of all time only one person has more hits but that is because he racked up well over 1,000 hits in japan before making his way over and if you are wondering that is Ichiro who got almost 3090 hits here in the states which makes the fact that he got well over 1,000 before that truly impressive though he will get in here in a few years. I think the issue with Rose being snubed is because every time he tries to win back support to maybe get in he just proves why he was snubed in the first place. One person who is currently active that i hope gets in is Jose altuve as that guy is impressive.

Sweet Lou Whitaker should have been inducted with Trammell; best SS to 2B duo of the 80's. Bless You Boys!

The Crime Dog was my favorite player, I guess he did not get in because he did not play for any team for more than 5 years , great upload dude....

I Think with out a doubt Tommy John should be in the Hall, 26 year career, 288 wins, and was the first to have the surgery, that is named after him. Don’t forget he also missed 2 years because of the surgery.

New follower here..love your videos. You were spot on with all these players..

Andrew Jones is the greatest defensive CF of all time. Oh and he also has 434 career home runs. It’s insane he hasn’t even been close to making it to the HOF

I would of gone with Buck O’Neill for the Cubs at the time this video premiered (he finally got in this past December). He was a long time scout with them and signed players such as Ernie Banks, Lou Brock, Lee Smith, Oscar Gamble and Joe Carter. He was instrumental in founding the Negro League Baseball Museum and preserving and increasing the interest in the Negro Leagues’ history and statistics. To me, at that time, the exclusion of him was the only exclusion that was more significant than Bert Blyleven. As for Pete Rose, my main arguments against him is that he denied gambling for much too long (only admitting to it in what would be his final year of eligibility) and never convincingly expressing remorse. If he had admitted to it up front and been convincing in expressing remorse, I would have been okay with the Veterans Committee voting him in. I would not necessarily agree with it but it would have been, to me, an acceptable compromise. Also, he knew that was the one rule that MLB would not budge on and he broke it any way.

Thanks for Keith Hernandez. He's the best defensive 1st baseman of all time, a winner, an MVP.

"...because of the numbers alone" is no legit argument for steroid users. Duh... those numbers don't exist w/o them.

Kaat no longer a snub.

Spot on for Schilling. Loved him in Philly too.

Well done. I agree with most of your selections.

Thumbs, up to your video man. Totally agree with you and enjoyed it.

Garvey had 2600 hits in the regular season, played in five World Series, with an insane playoff batting average of .338 with 11 post season home runs, and was also a two time All Star MVP. Garvey also had six 200 hit seasons. When you think of 1970s NL first baseman, Steve Garvey was the best. I think in my opinion the reason he is not in the hall, is because of his much publicised marriage infidelities that were all over the news. Hope he gets in some day, because he simply was one of the best of his era.

I would have gone Delgado for the Jays.

Cool video. The shots at Ozzie Smith were ridiculous. Most spectacular defensive player in the history of the game.

Very good video, I am amazed at the men who have not been selected yet are very great candidates. Something is definitely wrong or the process of.. is a mess. Definitely agree with most all of your picks, AL an Dave are always Pirates in my book. Great work

Huge Cubs fan so would like to see Sosa and Palermerio in the Hall. Both were beast. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video

MLB now has betting kiosks at stadia! They don’t care about gambling. Rose and Shoeless Joe need to be add immediately.

Great video. And I agree with your list. Especially Pete Rose.

As a Pirate fan, Dave Parker was the best player in baseball for many seasons. Another Pirate, Al Oliver, has never received star recognition since he was surrounded for his entire career by Clemente, Stargell, and Parker. Al was the spark for the Pirates as Joe Morgan was for the Reds ! After leaving the Pirates, Al became more well known for his play in the American League. Didn't matter what team or league, Al Oliver is a H.O.F. all the way !!

As a lifelong Tiger fan, I had someone in mind ho heartedly. And was getting ready to argue against whomever you selected, because there is only one true HOF snub. However, you nailed it. And wouldn't be against having a plaque for him an Trammell together because I cannot think of any other two man combination that deserve to also be inducted as a pair. I can't think of any other combo in all of baseball that epitomizes infield defense, that also had the longevity of this double play combo.

Loved the video!! I agree with you nearly 100 %. I was extremely impressed with your picks of Cecil Cooper and Al Oliver . . . I thought I was the only one who remembered them . . . But there's still a few snubs that at least deserve an honorable mention. How has four time batting champ Bill Madlock and Tigers catcher Bill Freehan not in the HOF? How about Paul Konerko?

I really love your commentary on these topics. Happy rolen is in and my big snub will always be Andruw Jones too.

Great informative list... spot on... but please don't forget Tommy John...288 wins... snubbed by the snubbed list!

I consider Curt Schilling more as a Philly Also Gil Hodges Steve Garvey and Fernando Valenzuela are bigger snubs than Orel

This is a great list my friend. I was so glad to see you list Dave Parker, Keith Hernandez, Lou Whitaker and Steve Garvey. And Don Mattingly is a no brainer. I was waiting the whole video for one man and I was chomping at the bit to hit the comments like an idiot if you didn't include him lol. And that man is Al Oliver. He is the forgotten man. Three hundred over that span of time is enough by itself. What a hitter. This is the best list I've ever seen. I'm no Alex Rodriguez fan, but I think he at least has to talked about. He is easily one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived. It is such a shame that so many greats could not be satisfied with the limits of their own God given greatness and resorted to steroids. Lasrly, Pete Rose.was a perfect baseball player.

Thank you for mentioning Will Clark; he is one of my favorite players of all time, and had a swing that was just an absolute pleasure to watch. Ted Williamsesque, that swing. If he had avoided injuries, he’d be in the Hall. I remember where I was when listening to his first at-bat: A home run (!) off of Nolan Ryan (!!!). He was a pleasure to watch from the moment he put on a Giants uniform.

Great list! The problem with the Hall voting now is that you have a bunch of writers who rely on spreadsheets instead of going back and watching footage. We'll need to push for the Hall to increase the eligible candidates for the Veterans Committee and make the committee permanently year-round.

Was glad to see Dick Allen. Was hoping to see Frank Howard (Dodgers or maybe Rangers.) This guy hit over 40 HRs/yr during years pitchers were so dominant. Dave Steib for the Blue Jays. Best pitcher of the 1980s.

Great video. The criteria I always use for Hall of Famers is if you can tell the story of baseball without the player.

Thank you, Dave Parker straight up deserves to be in! He was Dave Winfield but didn't play in New York. The '80's drug trials are unfortunately really what's keeping him out, but if they haven't kicked out all the drunkards / amphetamine users from throughout baseball history, and the raft of (white) spitballers, it's a joke that's held against him.

"one of the most exclusive clubs in all of professional sports" *lets Jack Morris and Harold Baines in, while ignoring Vida Blue and Dale Murphy*

As a Yankee fan I agree with Mattingly. Some day I would also like to see Munson in there.

McGriff and Kent....and a great player who played in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, Jim Kaat( numerous teams, mostly Minnesota)...a great lefty pitcher....270+ wins...but his time in both regular voting and veterans committee have passed.....might merit going as a broadcaster too, many years doing that, excellent doing that also

I actually met Palmero recently, he was trying to get a comeback going and signed with my local Non Affiliated Baseball team the Cleburne Railroaders, he also got to play with his son too! Great guy, totally overlooked cuz of Roids imo

Dave Stieb snubbed so hard he cant even make the snubbed list
