Don’t forget Freddy Lynn. If he stayed in Boston his entire career he would have had a chance at the Hall. Beautiful ballplayer in his prime.

As a Yankee fan I thought Lynn was an awesome player, but I don't think he ever had a chance to be a Hall of Famer. He was injury-prone throughout his career and never really came close to his late-70s peak that began with his MVP season in 1975 and ended in 1979.

In 17 seasons he only played 150 or more games once. That's pretty remarkable for a guy who seemed like he'd be a great player for two decades.

True...Fred Lynn was one player who would be awesome even today. Another HOF candidate in 5 years will be Big Papi David Ortiz...the debate will be if DH players should be Hall of fame...Yes...
