He's 37 now, and taking into account where he came from, he could just as easily be at least a couple years older then is reported.

It's not precipitous but his power stats have been slowly declining the last 4 years or so.

I think he's a HOF'er, but I'm sure there's tons of people on here who don't think he is.

How soon they forget. The dodgers actually got fined for lying about his age in the other direction! They illegally signed him at 15 and claimed he was 16. This was discovered his rookie year when the 20 year old phenom became a 19 year old phenom!

in the social media era, guys like beltre david ortiz bartolo colon become imminently more popular due to their personalities and exposure...thus adding to their candidacies (not colon). no one remembers colon was busted for ped, just that he's hitting a home run like homer simpson in a gif, beltre with his weird antics with his teammates, david ortiz for swearing in his speeches and not the mitchell report.

but i remember, and the north remembers...#edgarmartinezin2020 #truekingofdh

Nope, I did not know that. Interesting.
