Translation - Someone is greatly missing from his rightful spot in Cooperstown.

the only other player in the top 5 at their position all time (with no PED attachment) who isn't in the HOF is probably Joe Torre (and admittedly, he played a lot of his career outside of C so that might not even apply)

Let's see, using fWAR:
C- Bench , Carter, Rodriguez, Fisk,Berra (I was wrong, Torre is 7th)

1b-Musial, Gehrig, Foxx, Anson, Pujols (Pujols still active, but will be in)

SS- Wagner, A-Rod, Ripken,Davis , Dahlen (arod and dahlen not in)

2b- Hornsby, Collins, Lajoie,Morgan, Gehringer (all in)

3b- Schmidt, Matthews, Boggs, Brett, Chipper (Chipper eligible in 2018)

RF- Ruth, Aaron, Ott, F. Robinson, Kaline (all in)

CF- Mays, Cobb, Speaker, Mantle, Dimaggio (nuff said)

LF- Bonds, Williams, Henderson,Yaz,Ed Delehanty (all in but Bonds cuz roids)


so yeah, the only non PED impacted player in the top 5 at their position who hasn't gone in is Dahlen.

Unlike basketball, you can't be inducted twice. Torre has a worthy case as a player alone, but he's in. That's all that matters.
