Who Belongs In The Hall?
Written by wrigleyville   
Tuesday, 09 December 2008
Rob Neyer undertakes an interesting exercise in light of Ron Santo falling short of the Hall of Fame again: He identified the "favorite neglected Hall of Fame candidates" from every team.Among the highlights (Santo was the Cub entry): Athletics: Mark McGwire I'm not sure how many A's fans get misty-eyed about McGwire, particularly since his most famous seasons came with the Cardinals. But nostalgia being what it is, I'm sure that eventually there will be some effort to revisit McGwire's candidacy. Braves: Dale Murphy When he was playing, Murphy was universally regarded as a future Hall of Famer. That's what happens when you win consecutive MVP Awards and hit 218 home runs over six seasons and grab a few Gold Gloves. But when the end came for Murphy, it came suddenly, and that's apparently what stuck in the Hall of Fame voters' minds. Dodgers: Steve Garvey Maury Wills was on the Veterans Committee ballot, but it's Garvey whom Dodgers fans are passionate about, mostly because Garvey drove in a lot of runs and because he, like Dale Murphy, was for a long time considered a lock for the Hall of Fame someday. For me, Garvey falls short because of his .329 career on-base percentage and his relatively short, relatively unimpressive peak. Expos: Tim Raines You probably know how I feel about Raines. You probably feel the same way. And someday, I think, 75 percent of the voters will agree with us. Indians: Albert Belle Mel Harder has his fans, too. But that was a long time ago. The memories of Belle remain fresh in the minds of the Indians fans who saw him terrorize American League pitchers for six years. While it's true that Belle's career was terribly short by Hall of Fame standards, it's also true that there's not a great deal separating Belle from Jim Rice, who's going to be inducted next summer. Yankees: Don Mattingly Now that Rich Gossage and Joe Gordon have been elected, Yankees fans should really shut up. And for the most part, they have (about the Hall of Fame, anyway). Eight or 10 years ago, though, I would get ripped eight ways to Sunday for suggesting that Mattingly's résumé might be a little thin. I think what has happened is that there's room for only one saint in the Yankees fan's heart, and Cap'n Jetes has grabbed that title from Donnie Baseball. Brewers, Mariners, Padres, Rangers: None. Additionally, WV23 belongs in the Blog Hall of Fame. Pronto.
