As for me it seems almost every star from 1980 to 1995 has been forgotten other than about 10 names and it's sad.

People like -
Darrell Evans
Jim Abbott
Dave Concepcion
John Olerud
Bobby Abreu
Willie Randolph
Jack Clark
Lou Whitaker
...and a ton more.

Many guys from the 80's. Alan Trammel is someone else that comes to mind, Dave Steib too.

I was listening to talkin baseball the other day, and quite a few guys from the 80s are no longer talked about. Bobby Bonds, Dan Quisenberry, and Rusty Staub get no respect!

Bobby Richardson, Tony Kubek, Elston Howard.

Rusty Staub was the best pinch hitter I remember, got screwed out of being the 25th man on that ‘86 Mets team.
