I tried to find an over-arching thread that discussed team/hat arguments for hall of fame inductees and/or potential hall of famers, but I couldn't find it. I recently put together my personal hall of fame, then I wanted to see how many players I had from each team and realized how hard some of them are to decide.
First, non-hall of famers:
Tommy John - CHW, LAD or NYY (i vote CHW)
Keith Hernandez - STL or NYM (he won MVP* and played longer with Cards, but I see him as a Met
Mike Piazza - LAD or NYM (better for LAD, but after I called Keith a Met I have to say NYM)
Curt Schilling - PHI, BOS or ARI (I say ARI, but this is exactly like Gaylord Perry with SFG vs CLE)
Randy Johnson - SEA or ARI (ARI, way too good there, so many Cy Youngs there)
Joe Torre (player consideration only, please) - Braves or STL (i say Braves, despite MVP*)
*Who considers Cepeda a Card or Richie Allen a white sox?
Hall of Famers:
Deacon White: Braves or Buffalo (played most with Buffalo, then again, I also consider him a 3B. I can see calling Banks a SS or Carew a 2B, but White played twice as many games at 3B than C)
Reggie Jackson - NYY or OAK ( i feel this should obviously be Oakland)
Frank Robinson - BAL or Cin (triple crown and world series with BAL, but so much longer and better with CIN)
Billy Hamilton - Brave or Phillies ( I see him listed as a Brave a lot, but longer and better with Phillies)
I have a ton more, but If i do like 40 no one will reply. Even if you only want to mention just one, I'd love to hear any opinions on any of those above. Sorry if there is another thread, I couldn't find it (and i've sat around on work days just going through page after page looking at 5 year old threads and never seen one like this).
