    Love Dave Justice. When I was a kid, I was just past the outfield fence in St. Lucie at the Mets Spring Training facility, shagging homeruns hit during BP. I caught one from someone when Dave, playing in right, asked me for the ball back. Initially I said no way dude, I got it fair and square. He said no, give me the ball and your pen. I threw them over the fence and he signed my ball. Then he handed it off to the bullpen, they all signed it too. Then we got more of them to sign it when we waited outside the team bus after the game. Thanks Dave!

    It's criminal how underappreciated Steve Finley was. He's one player out of only 8 in the history of MLB that is a member of the 300-300 club. 6 of the 8 players in that club are either hall of famers, players that are a sure lock to be a hall of famer, and players that _would have_ been in the hall of fame already if they had... a different choice of a balanced breakfast. Pretty good company.
    While on that subject, I think Reggie Sanders also deserves some recognition, for much of the same reasons.

    I got him to sign his rookie card and a baseball for me some of my favorite baseball memorabilia. (Besides my experience with Jose Altuve. Met him in Houstons Galleria Mall. Where i was wearing a Houston Orange Away Jersey of his. He signed that and a ball I had from a couple night games ago. That day he went undercover with glasses and stuff wearing normal houston clothing probably because he would get swarmed otherwise. Hes a true Hero for a lot here in H-Town)

    Bobby Higginson was a solid outfielder for the Tigers from 1995-2005. Probably the best player in MLB history who never played for a team that finished above .500. Then, in 2006, the year after he retired, the TIgers went to the World Series.

    Good video. I'm glad u mentioned that Berkman was a killer bee of the 2nd gen. I was a Rickey Henderson fan I'm the mid 80's when I began my love for watching & playing baseball at around 7 & Shawn Green, Bobby Abreu, Steve Finley were all players I looked up to. They were 5 tool or close to it. Another player u might check out was a center fielder for the angels & played in the 90's into the 2000's. He was teammates with Garrett Anderson if I am not mistaken & like Steve Finley, he was a hustler of the highest caliber. He was a lefty, blond hair, smaller than most but played hard all the time. I just can't remember his name. Thanks 4 the video was good

    Players like Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Dave Parker, and Josh Hamilton are examples, they had respectable careers but at their peak, they were legendary. Despite their off the field issues derailed their career, imagine what they would be like if they stayed healthy and clean.

    Bobby Abreu is certainly a hall of fame baseball player. Lance Berkman is criminally underrated. Never an Astro fan, I hated to see him come to the plate. He is as worthy of the Hall as many who are there. Moises Alou, who I never really liked, was a Hall of Fame hitter anytime he was healthy. The man wasn’t just good, but he was exceptional as a hitter. He could flat out rake. But Mark Grace is my biggest and best underrated player, maybe ever. He gets no love. He was absolutely a Hall of Fame talent on both sides of the game. When you consider his abilities as a player and his performance, I think he definitely belongs in the Hall right along Ryno and the Hawk. I don’t believe he will ever get the recognition he deserves as one of baseballs best contact hitters in history. Great video friend.

    I feel the biggest weakness of the hall of fame voters is they should have either voted for the best players based on stats(including steroids) or made a statement voting for clean players. But they chose to evaluate players with a clean record in comparison to those taking steroids. They didn't lower the standards to account for the artificial stats.

    @donwhiteley3293 Год назад +1

    Of this list I think Bobby Abreu has the best chance to become a HOFer. The analytics movement is really causing people to give his career a well-deserved second look. I think he will continue to pick up votes each year and may end up being voted in by the writers. Bernie Williams, Matt Williams, and Lance Berkman would also get my vote, but I don't think any of them have a very good shot at getting in. The others were all excellent players, but fall a little short of being HOFers for me.

    Bobby Abreu was the worst Philly ever. We would be down 1, runner on second with Bobby up and he’d take the walk every time. Every pitcher knew it. Just to keep his numbers up. Didn’t care one lick about the team. He got his golden gloves the same way. He’d never ever chase down. If it was close to his limit of range, he’d jog over and get the bounce. Never stretched for a ball. Never threw to the plate.
