Blyleven gets no respect. His in the top 5 all-time in strikeouts and is close to 300 wins (287) although he didn't hit the magic figure. He pitched for some horrible teams throughout his career but did manage to lead his teams to a couple of World Series with the Pirates and Twins. Veterans of his era almost unanimously support his induction (of course the same can be said for Tony Oliva who still isn't in).
