Default Most Deserving Non-HOFer

(Not sure if this is the right forum, move if desired.)

I picked up this Keith Hernandez card recently and took a quick look at his career. I knew he was pretty good, but didn't know how good. I am shocked he's never received more than 11% of the vote for the Hall of Fame.

I know WAR has its flaws, but is anyone else aware of a player with a career WAR (by Baseball Reference) of over 60 with an MVP who is not in the Hall of Fame? For MVP winners 1975 to the present, I don't believe there are any eligible players not associated with steroids. Clemens, Bonds, and ARod fit the criteria but obviously are associated with steroids. Suzuki, Verlander, Votto, and Pujols fit the criteria but aren't eligible.

I don't have time at the moment to continue the research prior to 1975, but I'd be surprised if there were anyone, which leads to my ultimate question: who is the most deserving player for the HOF that is not in?
