So who will be the first HOF to have had a BC auto?

[JVC]

Someone posed this question in another thread but I thought it would make for good discussion. Who from the Bowman Chrome autograph era will be the first to make the Hall of Fame? Pujols is the obvious first choice since he was in the inaugural Bowman Chrome auto set but who are some other possible candidates?

 

[Zymco]

Wright.

 

[George K]

A. Pujols.

 

[A_Pharis]

Good question, and a lot of people are going to come in saying Braun and Laporta, etc... but I don't think anyone has shown a more direct course than Pujols. Anyone with a BC auto after that year would be a long shot at this point in their careers, I believe.

Edit: I would agree with David Wright.

No one yet, but for batters:
Pujols, Wright, Hanley, Ryan Braun, Brian McCann are in the right direction

Pitchers:
Tim Lincecum (way to early i know, but does have a CY young award), can't think of anyone else Verlander if he bounces back?

 

[scotty21690]

1. Pujols
2. Wright
3. H. Ramirez

 

[AKA Coastal]

1. Albert Pujols
2. David Wright
3. Joe Mauer

Joe Mauer is another elite batter who has won 2 batting titles, could happen eventually.

i think the real question is who will be the first witha topps traded RC auto

and hanley HOF? idk about that, def not verlander though or mccann

 

[briguy0216]

I would say Wright has as good a shot. I don't think he's a definite but there's no one, besides Pujols, who has a better shot at this point

You don't think Hanely will eventually be in the HOF?? :lol:

Not yet, but hanley is like 25 and look at his HR, SB, AVG numbers. McCann has 2 All Star apperances, and above average power for a catcher and is under 24.

Hanley won ROY and so did Verlander.

You have to look at now just stats but what honors they have achieved. Lincecum has AS and CY Young so far and hopefully next season he can do it again

 

[darocker80]

Oh also no one from 2004 BC

I hate to say it, since he was one of my favorites, but that's what Steroid testing does.....

Injuries.If you want to go that route you can say every player with a bowman chrome auto wont make the hof because they have a chance at getting injured.
