If I had to name just 3 players I would go with:

Al Oliver .303 BA, 2743 Hits in 18 seasons
Buddy Bell .279 BA, 2514 Hits in 18 seasons
Del Ennis .284 BA, 2063 Hits in 14 seasons

Others would include:
Lou Whitaker
Mark Grace
Rusty Staub


I just think it's amazing how many players have good/great stats that seem to be overlooked just because they don't play on great teams or are overshadowed by bigger stars of the era.

There are a lot of reason why, and a lot of reasons that don't make any sense and just make one shake their head in disbelieve!

I agree with Raines and have always possessed a bias for Scoop. Is there anyone who owns 4 batting titles other than Madlock not in the hall?

If you're asking about who I think the best players are who aren't in and don't belong, I'd say Pete Runnels, Fred Lynn and Jackie Jensen. The best who aren't in and who do belong IMPO are Gil Hodges, Dom DiMaggio and Billy Pierce.

My top two are Steve Garvey and Dale Murphy.

There are several others who I feel should be in the HOF (and are past their BBWAA eligibility), but are too close to break down at #3, including Tommy John, Jim Kaat, Luis Tiant, Ted Simmons, Thurman Munson, Keith Hernandez, Fred McGriff, Minnie Minoso, Gil Hodges.....
