I think Keith Hernandez should be in as the All Time Best fielding First Baseman

Why is he not in, while Ozzy Smith is?

Mets fan, here. You’ll get no complaint from me on Hernandez. And he did win an MVP. He revolutionized how first base was played. Ask Don Mattingly.

ps....I don’t think the HOF should do any more than use STATS to determine HOF inclusion

I would allow in Pete Rose first and foremost(with the caveat that he can not ever work in baseball) lord knows he deserves it...he was the BEST and I never was nor ever will be a REDS fan.

then some of the best of the drug users. there are many 1950s Amphetamine users who are in the HOF now. don’t think they are not. It just wasn’t an issue back then...

if they want to trade their health and longevity for a big salary and they perform better than the next guy then I would not deny them the Hall....
