Congratulations and well deserved to Carlos Beltran to Andruw Jones!!!
Neither one should have been inducted truthfully, Beltran for his sign stealing cheating scandal and not lock numbers and Jones because of his off the field domestic issues and not having any stats except for Home Runs, his 10 Golden Gloves was definitely overrated
The only one on that list that should've been a lock was Snider, Bert deserved it to. It should be that it takes ten years to figure out if a player is a Hall Of Famer or not, it shtbe lowered to 5 attempts and 85 percent voting entry
Jones only got 7.8 percent on his first ballot, after 8 more ballots all of a sudden he got that much better
Kirby Puckett is not a lock Hall Of Famer either but for a different reason
Come on, now they are going to pump up Torii Hunter as a Hall Of Famer, this is getting way watered down
Feliz Hernandez is not a Hall Of Famer
So if Visquel had similar off the field issues as Jones did, what's the difference,. Visquel was a better player than Jones definitely
Well if it helps being in the playoffs, then Manny and Andy should be in but the anabolic issues will stop that from occuring
Buster Posey is not a Hall Of Famer
If Posey goes in then why doesn't Jorge Posada get in, wowwwwww we are reaching now, Bernie Williams as a Centerfileder, they both were with the Core Five if they are using the playoffs as another determining issue of making or not. They won 5 titles together, nobody else is close to this success
84% what a player is added to the hall of fame congratulation Carlos Beltran you made proud tone a Puerto Rican please have fun and celebrate that finally you get what you deserve. I remember see you played it was magical. Congratulation to the best defender in center field his awards speak for what he did and add to the baseball game have fun and once more I ama very happy that finally you get what you worked for so long Happy to be an American
It cant be about MVPS, Cy Young, Silver Slugger, Golden Gloves, these are given out as a voting process as a reputation and favoritism process, if has to be what you did on the field especially the plate appearances, if the stats are there, then your in, if you don't, then you don't get in. 500 Homers for power, .300 average and 3,000 hits or 500 doubles for line drive hitters, 500 steals and 100 Triples for speed players. 1,500 RBIs and 1500 Runs Scored.
250 wins for starting pitchers with 3000 ks and a under 3.00 career ERA
300 saves with a ERA under 2.25 ERA-2.50
There has to be standards or this Hall Of only Good to Very Good will continue
This was so set up that all of those current and former MLB players happen to be with Jones, he definitely knew he was getting in way in advance
Congrats to Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones elected to National Baseball Hall of Fame
Congratulations Andrew Jones. I remember them Braves games on TBS in the 90’s
Puerto Rico has the most Latino players in the Hall of Fame 🇵🇷🫶🏽🇵🇷🫶🏽🇵🇷
