Very good one Scott I forgot about Eddie Murray and the trade. Great story that one

Yes! And finished top three in two other years, if I'm not mistaken.

Agree on Ross Barnes and Olivia.
I would posit two of the most underrated HOF hitters are Tony Gwynn and Rod Carew. Gwynn is tied with Wagner for most NL batting titles with 8 and can be included in the goat discussion. Carew had 7 titles, both are relegated to mid-tier or less in collectors minds.
