in my opinion if you hit 600+ home runs you belong in the hall

 

Also, it's not crazy to think that getting hit in the head in 2003 derailed his career. He averaged a 1.046 OPS from 1998-2002, had a 1.201 OPS through 4/20/03 (sss, i know), gets hit in the head, has an OPS of .868 for the rest of 2003, .849 for 2004, and is all but out of the game after that.

He was 34-35 when this was all happening, so should've been on the backside of the mountain anyway, but getting hit in the head has to be an exacerbating factor

Here's the HBP

It got him good and helmets back then are not what they are today

 

Of course these assholes are promoting his 98 but still won’t allow him back to the franchise

everything about the cubs franchise sucks ass

 

agreed

 

it's so fucking dumb that bonds, mcgwire, sosa, clemens aren't all in the hall

 

Tbf it seems like Bonds and Clemens will get there in the next few years or eventually

 

in hindsight i don't understand why altuve won mvp in 2017

 

Cause he overcame the huge disadvantage of having a strike zone only half the size of Judge's

 

This made me sad but also simultaneously happy that his career didn't actually end this way in real life!

 

Stanton vs Votto was a hard decision and it coming down to one vote makes sense and I'd give it to Stanton for hitting 59 bombs.

Judge vs Altuve doesn't seem hard at all. Judge was such a better hitter, plays great defense, and is a fine enough runner. Altuve hitting .346 is cool but slugging is king

 

hmm look who's on the list the most

and did not lead the league in homers in those seasons!!!

 

A's McGwire out here looking hot, let's go early 90s

 

They're all looking good tbh

 

Give the Cespedes Family guys HoF ballots

 

how the fuck did sosa win mvp over big mac in 98?????????????

 

been asking this shit since elementary school man

 

lmao it is almost certainly because Sosa's BA started with a 3 (.308) while McGwire hit .299

 

I’m confident it’s because the Cubs made the playoffs and Cardinals didn’t

remember those awful days when team performance was damn near the determining factor for awards

 

MLB cant have their favorite team suffer "significant reputational injury"

 

out of the woodwork
