dennisimo(no expert,just fan)monte irvin was the big power hitter type that personified the 1950's.i imagine he would have similiar #'s to johnny mize, if allowed to play in the majors.so i'm sure he belongs in the hall. minnie minoso did not play in the majors until he was 28 ,i think he did play in the negro leagues,but not too long.his #'s and the level of his play deserves a place in the hall of fame. i think he is the all around best player not in the hof. look at his record(in 1962 he broke his leg,which should have ended his career,that explains his drop in production. http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/minosmi01.shtml sorry i had to get in the plug for minnie!
