Ted Simmons missed being elected to the National Baseball Hall Of Fame by an era Veterans committee by one vote two years ago. His era's group, "Modern Baseball - 1970-1987" comes up for election this December at the annual Winter Meetings. He's got to be the leading candidate to be elected from this era this time around.
Simmons played 21 MLB seasons (ages 19 to 39) between 1968 and 1988. He made 8 all-star teams, hitting over .300 seven times, with a career high of .332 in 1976. He had six years with at least 20 home runs (career high 26 HR in 1979) and 10 seasons with at least 80 RBI, 8 years with at least 90 RBI and three seasons with 100 RBI or more (career high 108 RBI in 1983.
He caught 1,771 games and also had over 200 games each at first base and as a designated hitter. He also occasionally played in the outfield or as a third baseman. He had 248 home runs and had 1,389 RBI for his career. He hit .285 lifetime with 2,472 Hits in 2,456 MLB games: Career: 1968-1980 St. Louis Cardinals/NL; 1981-1985: Milwaukee Brewers/AL; 1986-1988: Atlanta Braves/NL.
