Who needs the Hall of Fame anyway?!
Maybe I'm bored but I was thinking it might make an interesting thread. Can you name any player/coaches/managers, etc. in MLB history who didnt get into the Hall of Fame because of scandal, shortened career, etc., but it doesnt seem to matter. They have reached iconic status anyway through their famous or infamous acts on or off the field? Does this make sense? Anyway, here are the three that came to mind for me....
Joe Jackson (.356 lifetime BA)
Pete Rose (all time hit king)
Thurman Munson (first Yankee captain since Gehrig and only Yankee to have won both an MVP and ROY awards.)
