RBIers Not In Cooperstown

[The Murph]

Out of the 3 I would like to see Rice in there.  Donny baseball would get my vote if he had played a little longer.  But the biggest name I think you left off was, of course, The Murph.  He was my childhood hero.  Both on and off the field he was a class act.  I can't believe he didn't make it in the first few years he was eligible.  I personally think he was overlooked because of the teams that he played for.  The Braves were terrible in the late 80s.  Maybe one day the HOF will grow some brain cells and let this great baseball icon join their illustrious squad.

RedRamage...I can't agree with you more about Alan Trammel. My roommate is a Cards fan and always bitches that Smith was so awesome, blah blah blah. We always use the argument that if Shawon Dunston had been able to do a backflip, then he'd be in the HOF too.  Smith was a great defensive player, no doubt..but he had like 4 career homers. It's pathetic that Trammel's not in the HOF. He's a beast.

IMO Mex doesn't get nearly enough consideration for the hall. Not many guys revolutionize their position defensively like he did, NOBODY would bunt a ball anywhere near him. Not to mention he lead two teams to the World Series, won an MVP, and was one of the most consistent batters of his era. With guys like Tinker, Evers, Chance, and Ozzy in the HOF,  the hall needs to show Mex a little love.
