2015 Kansas City Royals might qualify for that.

'05 White Sox, '02 Angels and '97 Marlins (Sheffield should have made it though).
I was legit shocked when I read this and had to look it up

:dahell:

9x all star, 4x silver slugger, World Series champ, and considered one of the fiercest hitters of all time, doesn't make it in...
Gee I wonder why :mjpls:

Who on 2017/18 Eagles is a HOF:manny:
Jason Peters has a case but he didn't play for most the season

Chris Long is definitely going to the HOF. He’s white and had a great career at a position normally dominated by black players. Easy HOF

Edit: never mind... he probably won’t get it. Even though I know they would love to put him in and he has 2 rings. The numbers don’t support it.

Long is NOT going to the HOF at this rate :gucci:

He's not been a pro bowler one time, and has no all-pros. He's been on two good teams and both of those teams he wasn't a key player.

If he gets in I'll be very disappointed and very shocked

Nah I edited my post and said the numbers don’t support it. For some reason I thought he had much better production that what he did. I thought he had a couple Jared Allen like seasons, but apparently not.

The MLB HOF is the hardest one to get into....so as much as I back my guys, I'mma hafta say that neither Howard, Rollins, Utley nor Hamels are getting in.

Maybe Rollins and/or Utley, in the future, because of their individual accolades...but I dunno...

Probably a lot of baseball teams win a WS without a HOF just because the HOF is so hard to get into. That’s not to say there are teams with trash ass players winning the World Series. A player with a great 5 year run is not making it to the HOF but could be the best player on a World Series team.
