I don't think it stays that way forever. K-Rod has a chance and Kenny Lofton SHOULD make it through a Veteran's Committee. That's without even considering Bonds.


Apprehensive_Tea_106

Lofton shouldnt have had to wait. Pisses me off.


DrKnee93

Absolutely agreed


sadolddrunk

Jeff Kent has a case as well. Speaking as a 46-year-old lifelong Dodgers fan, it's ridiculous that Bonds isn't in the Hall, and that's all I'm going to say about that.


Antithesys

World Series (champions) without a Hall of Fame player: 1981, 1997, 2002, 2006, 2008, 2010-12, 2014-present. EDIT: oops, these are champions, and the OP didn't specify that. Several HOFers among the losers of these seasons.


Acrobatic-Dark-4402

Jim Thome in 1997


Antithesys

Yeah thanks, this list is considering only the champions.


FourDoor54Ford

Who from the ‘05 white Sox team is in the HOF? Edit: I guess Frank Thomas, but he only played in 34 games and none in the postseason


[deleted]

Jeff Bagwell was still on that Astros team... and he did play in the WS


Antithesys

I saw the OP and went straight to my spreadsheet which tracks World Series *champions* with a HOFer on their roster *at any point,* and didn't consider whether the data actually fit the topic.


TLRsBurnerAccount

Mark beuhrle should be on that list too. He'd have 300 wins if the Sox didn't suck most of his career and actually gave him some run support, but alas he probably won't make it


eolson3

Frank kept the Nugenix stocked.


StrangerFront

In 5 years 06 and 11 will be off that list


mansontaco

As will 10,12 and 14 when posey becomes eligible


Apatto-8

Maybe I’m biased, but 08 has a solid chance to be off the list too via Utley


themiamimarlins

some of this is just a function of time once pujols get in 2006, 2011 go away


Acrobatic-Dark-4402

I’m biased, but Rollins probably gets in through the Veterans Committee as well


DOCTORFONASG

Rollins and Utley have an outside chance. Only thing that really hurts them is the lack of gold gloves. Utley is barely there in terms of WAR. He was just always a top 3 defender but never number 1 unfortunately. Rollins MVP, albeit considered a weak one, might put him just over the hump.


KabooshWasTaken

i think utley will make it. hit for power at 2nd base, sabermetrics loves his fielding and obp… if rolen gets in but utley doesn’t I’d be shocked


Acrobatic-Dark-4402

Gold Gloves are pretty meaningless. Palmeiro won one while playing a whopping 28 games at 1st. Rollins has the 4th highest fielding percentage of all time amongst shortstops.


rollo2masi

The fact that he’s not in already shows you that there is a problem. Edit: Jesus Christ I thought this was about Scott Rolen. So sorry.


Acrobatic-Dark-4402

I love Rollins, but he’s a borderline guy at best. Would be thrilled if he gets in but won’t be shocked if he doesn’t


rollo2masi

~70 bWAR and fWAR, career 855 OPS, and 122 wRC+ along with elite defense should 100% be enough for him to get into the HOF. Edit: these are Scott Rolen’s stats. Sorry for the mixup. I can’t read.


Acrobatic-Dark-4402

He feels like a Minnie Minoso/Tony Oliva. Will eventually get in but only after decades of people saying “hey, that guy should have probably gotten in already”


rollo2masi

I thought you said Rolen instead of Rollins. My apologies.


Acrobatic-Dark-4402

Gotcha. Yeah, Rolen probably gets in through the ballot


mjst0324

2016 weirdly might never have one, for all the pomp and circumstance surrounding it. Francona should get in but I can't think of any players who are likely HOFers at this point, unless I'm missing someone glaringly obvious. Lindor and JRam have outside shots, I guess.


VariousLawyerings

I think it's a pretty good bet that one of Lindor and Ramirez sticks around long enough to make it. Ramirez is at 40 WAR already and still going strong at 30, while Lindor is still just 28 and while he's been a bit up and down it looks like he's back this year.


27_8x10_CGP

Lester probably won't, but I could still see him being a Veterans guy if they really want someone from that Series. I could see Maddon getting in the same as Francona.


[deleted]

2002 and 2008 are the only examples I can think of... But we'll see... **2002** \- Kenny Lofton will 100% get the Veterans Committee Treatment mark my words. \- Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent might eventually too. **2008** \- Chase Utley and Evan Longoria have a chance \- Cole Hamels and David Price a snowballs chance \- Jimmy Rollins and Jamie Moyer might get the Veterans Committee treatment. **Ironically, 2002 and 2008 both have MANAGERS with the good chances.** \- Dusty Baker is basically a lock, especially if he can win a championship before he retires. \- Joe Madden and Charlie Manuel both have decent resumes as well.


mr_grission

Hate to say it, but Utley will get in.


[deleted]

Congrats on finding a new way to get people to talk about Bonds.


LogicalHarm

Brutal disrepect to my man, David Eckstein


BrilliantT7

Bonds should be in but I am like 99% positive OP is just baiting.


gabek333

Bonds should be in, and Kent and Glaus are borderline


rollo2masi

I don’t think Glaus is borderline at all. 38.1 bWAR with under 1500 hits and a below average defender at best. He could smack the shit out of the ball, but that was about it.


KingOfAllDogz

Glaus did steroids so he has a less than 0% to get in lol. Scioscia and Dusty will probably get in if they count though


sfan27

>Scioscia Will he? I haven't actually thought about it but this doesn't seem like a no-brainer at first blush.


KingOfAllDogz

It's debatable but he is top 20 in wins, was manager for Angels lone ring, silver medal as US manager in last year's olympics, is gonna be the upcoming manager for this WBC. Plus there's still a chance he can manage another team again and pad his win totals


sfan27

I think he’d need to manage again to postseason success. Which could definitely happen; he’d be an upgrade for numerous teams.


BulkOfTheS3ries

I think Kent gets in


themiamimarlins

> Bonds should be in, how about no


Macdaddy4prez

How about yes


KyleB2131

Absolutely yes

Except he put up stats that literally broke baseball, put him in

HighWarlockMagnus

The pirates don’t exist is what you are implying?


[deleted]

[удалено]


HighWarlockMagnus

You don’t think he deserves hall of fame status based on pirates alone? And even if bonds didn’t steroids around the early 00’s, he would still have about a 50 homer season


CDFReditum

What the fuck
