not yet. he was rejected twice I think. First he blamed the Expos for their lack of support and last time the Mets.

sounds like the perfect "Not Quite Cooperstown" addition.

How about Jimmy Rice?

Sosa is going to the Hall.

Brien Taylor - another kid that Steinbrenner rushed through the system. why not add Paul wilson to your list - former Mets #1 overall still trying to hang on.....

How about...

Bill Buckner

In a now infamous play, 1B Bill Buckner lets Mookie Wilson's ground ball pass under his legs. If he had made the play, the Red Sox would have won the World Series. (Globe Staff File Photo)

Remember these guys that were supposed to be badasses:
Nigel Wilson - Marlins 1st pick
Brian Taylor - black Yankees pitcher
David Nied - Rockies 1st pick
JT Snow - Bombed as a Yankee
All of their rookie cards were worth something at some point. I dont think any of them still play except JT Snow.

Hall of Fame: To whoever said otherwise, Sosa & Maddux are both sure locks

Bo Jackson was definitely not a great player or could have been a great player. He was a good football player, but a .260, 30 HR type player. Darryl Strawberry & Doc Gooden are both sad cases. At one point, Strawberry was on pace to hit 585 homers. Doc Gooden once struck out nearly 300 batters in one season. But both let drugs ruin their careers (both of which had many many "2nd" chances).

Bigguns7 - Robin Ventura is and always has been a solid player, why mention him? Averages like 20-30 HRs every year.
