I'm a Cardinal fan and a little biased, but I never understood why Ted Simmons got almost no votes for the HOF.
8 time AS, way up the all time lists for batting categories for catchers, caught 1700 games.
He spent the 70's overshadowed by Bench I suppose.
Lance Parrish is another catcher, both were off the ballot with less than 5% in their first years.
