Well, well, well. I looked and it states clearly "100 eligible players not in the Hall of Fame" Eligible, so not Ichiro or Mike Trout. Players, so it's not some shadowy inventor of baseball or Marvin Miller. So who is the top #2? I'm betting Sadaharu Oh is one. The Baseball HOF should be like the Basketball HOF. True that. But was Oh a better player of the field than Bonds, Rose of Jackson? Safe to say all three faced better pitchers than Oh. Can't imagine the other. Some other Japanese or foreign player? Some minor leaguer like Frank Schellenback or Jigger Statz, guys who put up epic numbers in minor leagues that were minor in name only. The minors at that time were quasi-independent. Nearly every year, there were high minor league teams that could have beaten Major League bottom feeders, some of which were atrocious.
God, please don't let it be "The Fans". Some feel good piece about how the game wouldn't exist without the loyal fans tripe. Or some "All the kids who picked up a baseball" bilge. Remember, Posnarski is noted for this. Duane Kuiper's one and only home run is the 2nd greatest moment in baseball, according to him.
