If it wasn't for his shoulder injuries that cut short his career, he would be a first-ballot HOF'er, no doubt.

[@plootoisaplanet]

i think he should be in the hall anyway, he’s the modern koufax

As a lifelong twins fan that 17 k game still gives me goosebumps

[@cigar_snob_chicago1713]

Perfect arm action on a filthy change piece , loved watching him pitch

[@robertstettner3664]

He should have 3 Cy Young Awards bc he was robbed in 2005. If he had that 3rd, not only would he have stayed on the ballot, he might have gotten in on the 1st or 2nd try. He still belongs IMO.

I miss watching the Twins play at the Metrodome.

We'll never have a home-field advantage that good again, that's for sure. The stadium might've been a dump, but it was OUR dump, and we knew how to win in it.

He was a dominant pitcher looked like he was gonna be an all time great

[@coreystenson2010]

Prime Johan is best pitcher Ive ever seen

[@matthewmead2374]

Fun fact. Johan Santana and Jesse Orosco were once teammates. Orosco was 46 at the time, finishing up his career with the twins when johan was a rookie and pitching mostly out of the bullpen

[@SwitcherooU]

You have to wonder if the no-no was worth it. Can't imagine throwing 130 pitches was good for him at that point in his career. I wonder if it exacerbated any existing problems he had.

[@logandetwiler4483]

I remember this

[@FavreianVengeance]

Santana and Schilling not being in the Hall Of Fame shows how inept the voters are.

Don't understand why he's not HOF

His no-hitter should not count.
