Baseball Nerdfriends: advise (modern day HoF)
So my pops and I attended the Dodger game tonight, and in the course of conversation, the Hall of Fame arose. . .we thought about which modern-day (post-roid) ballplayers are locks for the Hall. This Excludes young dynamos such as Kemp, Cain, Trout (!), etc, that are sub-30 years old. . .accordingly, we came up with a grand total of. . .
SEVEN
four of whom play for the Yankees:
Jeter
Ichiro
A-Rod
Mo Rivera
the non-Yankees include:
Thome
Chipper
Pujols
Notable ‘perhaps soon’ names included:
Miggy Cabrera
Verlander
Sabathia
Lincecum
Pedroia
Cano
Fielder
But that’s IT. Two points here: 1) any omissions? 2) this list is conspicuously light on players that started their career between ’95-’04, eg Roid Era players. I mean has there been a ten year span with only SEVEN players that started their careers entering the Hall? Hmmm . . .
Thoughts? Omissions?
these guys arent locks, but…
Manny, Big Papi, Todd Helton, Lance Berkman, Roy Halladay, paul konerko (ok, a bit of a reach)…
