  2. **Don Mattingly**
    2153 H
    222 HR
    588 BB
    .307/.358/.471 (.830 OPS)
    127 OPS+ in 7,722 PA
    42.4 bWAR/40.7 fWAR
    39.1 JAWS (53.8 standard for 1B)
    1x MVP
    3 x Silver Slugger
    6x All Star
    9x Gold Glove
    0x World Series champion

    Tremendous player and clearly close to our hearts. I think he’s borderline at best when you look at the numbers and compare him to other HOF first basemen. By JAWS he’s closer to Adrian Gonzalez and Carlos Delgado than Jeff Bagwell or Joey Votto.

    Hard to make the Hall when your career ends at age 34. We’ll see how he does in the committee.

  3. You could make a case for all 8 but Bonds, Clemens, Murphy and the Crime Dog should definitely be in. I’d love to see Donald Arthur get some love but this ballot is stacked. Lastly, F Schilling.

  7. Donnie is a no-brainer. Did everything right. If he didn’t have a recurring injury problem he would A) have HOF numbers and B) would have won at least one WS!

  9. A lot of those guys were either dirty cheaters and/or assholes.

    Mattingly, Murphy and the Crime Dog stand out as being cheat/assholery free.

  10. Don Mattingly

    BA .308, hit .320+ 5 years, most grandslams in a season, most home runs in consecutive games, most GG by a Yankee 1st base, 9 GG, 3 SS, 85 MVP, from 84 to 88 he hit .343,.324,.353, .327, .311, 6 time all star and his accolades are insane. Why he is not in the HoF is a damned travesty tbh.

  11. 4 PED cheats and KKKurt. Mattingly has never been closer and will likely never have a better shot to get in.

  12. Are stats more important than accolades in baseball. Its seems that why. I don’t get how Don and Roger Maris aren’t in the hall of fame.
