500+ HR was always a lock for the HOF, but now we have some players that have passed that threshold, but aren't in.
555 - Manny Ramirez
541 - David Ortiz
509 - Gary Sheffield
Manny was definitely the best hitter of the three. Ortiz performed best in the post-season and had the best peak years, though I think Sheffield was an overall better hitter than Ortiz . Eventually, I think all three get in.
That will leave McGwire, Sosa and Palmeiro as the only members in the 500+ Club not in the Hall, assuming Pujols is inducted. (Side note, any chance Pujols gets to 700 HR, currently 656?)
