Are they HoFers? Selfishly I say yes.
Bonds and Clemens, I can see the argument either way...
Murph, Fernando, Mattingly, Sheffield(maybe the worst snub of all time) Delgado, all had great careers or impacts on the game, but I don’t think the Hall should be flooded with a bunch of really good players and should be strictly for the greats.
Look at a guy like Gary Gaetti. He was a hell of a baseball player, but nobody is pushing for him.
A guy like Sweet Lou Whitaker absolutely belongs on this list.

Believe Murphy gets the nod in this group.

I love Fernando Valenzuela but his overall record wasn't much over .500. He is famous due to his rookie year by winning ROY and Cy Young ...

Strawberry has cleaned up and given his life to the Lord, if Murphy becomes a HoFer, my childhood will be complete!

Btw: Dodgers have already retired Fernando's number and put him in Dodgers HOF, to me that's perfect for Valenzuela..

Also, whether you liked the Yankees or not. Don Mattingly should be in Cooperstown... Donnie baseball played through some rough years in New York..

Thanks for the heads up. I just used my Spectrum App to record the game.
No moron here.

I love Donnie, but he's a hall of very good player, not a HOFer. He only had a 6 year stretch where he was a great player.

Cowboys are fixing their defense by trading for a Bengals linebacker, the only team that’s worse on D

Your Falcons have her own problems, probably should be concerned with them instead of Dallas

I’ll make that my goal for this offseason, but it’s easier to replace a kicker than a whole defense

Man, he was huge when I was little!
Fernandomania is burned into my brain and I’m talking I was only like 4 yrs old
I’ve been a baseball junkie for quite a while.

He and Murph, absolutely get dinged for playing on some rough squads.
That and the fact that there are 726 Yankees in the Hall already.

 

[CobbWebb71]

I love Donnie, but he's a hall of very good player, not a HOFer. He only had a 6 year stretch where he was a great player.

IMO 6 great years is the equivalent of 16 good years.
