IMO Spahn is the greatest lefty ever. I may be biased because he is from Buffalo, as am I.

I believe this is from 1977 as Schmidt won his 1st Gold Glove in 1976. Early shots of Mike had him with a beard and clean shaven. Maybe he was looking for his identity and finally settled on the moustache. Called up in 1972 in September for 13 games he wore number 22.

Fun fact: This is the same person.

Also, Ron Gardenhire was many years ago eloquently made out as the reason why the Mets, a franchise perpetually ham-fisted in their handling of EVERYTHING, fumbled their best player ever – Tom Seaver, in case you weren’t sure – for the SECOND time in this post: Saving Ron Gardenhire

Masahiro Tanaka, the man Yankees GM Brian Cashman recently called a "tremendous Yankee" and "great teammate"....and then made ZERO effort to re-sign him.

I went to the HoF induction ceremony in 2007 because Cal Ripken, Jr. was my childhood hero. Tony Gwynn's speech was the highlight of the weekend.

Its not a countdown without the "Straw"!
One of the most beautiful swings in baseball history.

Had to get a FLA Marlin in this thread at some point.
I think Moises Alou will do just fine.

Keith Hernandez
One of the best 1B in history and he was staunch hitter as well.

Todd Helton
Has almost the same stats as Larry Walker.

Why are both of these guys not in the HOF?
