Is CC Sabathia a Hall of Famer?

[Snapolit1]

It's now the Hall of Very Good and Not Necessarily Amazing. And he belongs there under that umbrella with other Bronx Bombers of similar stature.

When was that first group of marginal 30s players selected? That really set the tone.

Has CC played for the Yankees ? He has, therefore he will be in the Hall of Fame.

What do people think of Pettitte's chances?

Surprised Jorge Posada wasn't enshrined. Chris Chambliss and Bernie Williams too.

Willie Randolph. The obvious one, Mattingly.

Chesbro, McCarthy, Tinker, Evers and Chance were all inducted in 1946. Maranville in 1954, Schalk in 1955. Flick in 1963, Combs and Haines in 1970.
Bancroft, Hafey, Hooper and Marquard in 1971. Need I go on?

You can make an argument for every one of them. But by and large, they are generally regarded as some of the weaker members. This is not some recent phenomenon. It has been going on for 70+ years.

Think you're being a little hard on McCarthy. 7 titles and 9 pennants is pretty good.

Tommy McCarthy, not Joe.

Lloyd Waner and Travis Jackson have to make that list. Ross Youngs.

I agree. very good is the mark now.
HOF means little anymore...unless you have their RC in a 10. (Did not mention PSA). Then, you are in like Flint. Yeah, he deserves.

Besides, his cards are produced in the great bulge production numbers. Never will hold a good return.

CC is not a HOFer in my thoughts. My baseball side. Not my card side.

Unless someone's election is a real shock, like Smith and Baines, I agree it won't have a big effect on price. Smith's and Baines' 9s and 10s though went up exponentially when they were elected and still haven't come back to prior levels or even close.
