Most underated HOFers in the hobby?

Posted By: Mike

Ripken is a HOFer to be and deserving. But, in my opinion he is put on an undeserving pedestal. He did what he was paid to do? He played every game of the season, even at the expense of his productivity. I don't think it's a secret that him playing every single day had an effect on his playing. Ripkin batted .270 or less for 11 of his 21 seasons.

I also feel McGwire is a HOFer to be. The 98 season is one of the most special in history. He was a big HR hitter before his big seasons of the late 90's (never over 49 though), but he was also hitting .230. Which brings me to Sosa- Before 1998 his typical season was closer to .260/35/100.
