HOF Snubs

[MrMet]

A Listia listing has me asking this question...

If you had to put together a card lot of Hall of Fame snub guys, who would be in your lot...bet it wouldn't be the same as this Listia user (will reveal the lot after some responses come rolling in)

 

[WCTYSON]

Does it have to be players that are no longer eligible to be voted into the HOF?

 

[jflan702]

My player, Tommy John. 288 wins. 27 years, with 1975 spent on the IR. First to have a revolutionary surgery, that is now daily commonplace that has allowed thousands to continue careers.

 

[Nate Colbert 17]

A case could be made for Tony Oliva and Tony Mullane.

Alan Trammel and Lou Whitaker should be voted in as a tag team.

Haha doesn't matter, this is just for a few laughs when I show off the Listia auction cards

Trammel, Whitaker and Morris, though Trammel is still eligible.

Also like the Oliva pick and would add Mattingly.

Other than those mentioned I would add Shoeless Joe Jackson and the lesser known Ted Simmons (who unfortunately for him, plated at the same time as Johnny Bench).

 

[homerun28aa]

Maris & Trammel

 

[RStadlerASU22]

AT , LW and SJJ as mentioned ,
I'll stay away from some of the more current guys but would add Raines and Edgar to the list and would throw Rose in too

Ryan

Surprised it took this long for someone to mention J. Jackson and no mention of P. Rose yet. Ted Simmons is an absolute must on the list.

 

[IndyManning18]

Lee Smith.

 

[Brewer Andy]

Ted Simmons is an absolute must on the list.

Yup

 

[sportscardtheory]

Bobby Mathews, Jim McCormick, Lou Whitaker, Bill Dahlen, Harold Baines, off the top of my head.

Great additions for the list. I would like to also add:

Gil Hodges
Minnie Minoso
Dick Allen
Dwight Evans
Jim Kaat
Dave Parker
Bobby Grich
Bernie Williams
Kenny Lofton

 

[MrMet]

Ok, so, before I fall asleep, here is the Listia listing....

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Had no clue or had forgotten Hodges wasn't a HOFer. Should be...

Ryan

 

[WCTYSON]

Thurman Munson
Ron Guidry
Graig Nettles
Reggie Smith
Bobby Bonds
David Cone
Bret Saberhagen

 

[AllenGinterSigned]

Only snubs in my book are "steroid guys" such as Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Rafeal Palmerio, I believe there are at least 100 guys in that do not belong!

 

[Lancemountain]

, I believe there are at least 100 guys in that do not belong!

There are 240 players in the HOF.

Would be curious to see the list of almost half of these that you don't consider a HOF'er
