Among eligible players not enshrined, the best is Ryne Sandberg, who should've been a first-ballot pick in the last BBWAA election.
He is followed by Ron Santo and Bert Blyleven.Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam, circumspice.

Okay I understand it is opinion and all but how is it "no way"?Originally posted by BoSox Rule
No way is Ron Santo better than Jim Rice.
Jim Rice was an average fielding Left Fielder/Designated Hitter who played in a park designed to maximize the stats of power hitting right handed hitters.
Ron Santo was a great fielding third basemen playing in the greatest pitchers era in post-1920 baseball.
Santo played the harder position, heck he played a position, in a harder league (no DH, means less at bats, which means less runs, which means less gaudy stat lines), and in a harder era.
Again how is it no way?Last edited by cubbieinexile; 08-08-2003, 09:24 AM.Comment

I was a big Jim Rice fan when he was a player.
I would like to see him the Hall of Fame. He was a fine player.
But taking everything into consideration, Santo and Sandberg are the most deserving not currently in. It's not a landslide by any means, but those are my top two.Dave Bill Tom George Mark Bob Ernie Soupy Dick Alex Sparky

so i guess i can't go with joe jackson as my next choice. then i guess i would have to say canseco. maybe the best all around player to wear a uniform. wait a minute, are steroid junkies out of the poll also? i'll say rickey. hold on, he is still playing, sort of. ok ok. Santo it is.Comment

Hey TFAM, how about including Santo and Sandberg? They'd obviously garner the majority of the votes.2016 World Series ChampionsComment
