The whole list is even more daunting to look at. It's amazing that Dick Allen is not in yet. I hope the voters do the right thing and get him in!
Just want to put this at the top of my feed with some new followers - Dick Allen should be in the Hall of Fame
The chart is every 10 year span from 1880 to present and the MLB OPS+ leaders for each span. The ones in green are in the Hall of Fame / grey = active or not yet eligible.

The first Black U.S. Navy Master Diver, he overcame racism, a catastrophic injury, and amputation to return to full duty.

I made Saturday’s (?) grid out of guys in my autograph collection (presented in the same order as the grid)
The Ted Page auto is in a HOF yearbook from induction weekend 1974. Other autographs in there are another Paige and another Leonard.
I LOVE this corner of my collection.

As the baseball world mourned the passing of Hank Aaron, a surprise arrived in my mailbox.
My Don Sutton rookie — thought to be lost after his passing days earlier — returned, signed.
It was postmarked January 18, the day he passed. The heaviest card in my collection.

60 years ago today - Red’s pitcher Jim Maloney faces 40 batters in a no-hitter. 10 walks and a HBP in 10 innings pitched.
Ernie Banks goes 0-5. The only man in MLB history to be retired 5 times while his team was no-hit.

Dick Allen slashed .292/.378/.534 for his career
If you lowered each by 30 points, the ONLY men to achieve .262/.348/.504 during Dick's era are all first-ballot Hall of Famers (Clemente was a special election).
It's crazy that he wasn't in already.

In 2016 Phillies public address announcer - the legendary Dan Baker - invited me to join him at the PSWA dinner. We sat with Gene Garber, Bill Giles, Larry Christenson, and Richard Allen jr.
Dan introduced me to "Froggy" - the man who has spearheaded the campaign for years.

35 minutes into a 45-minute drive to my daughter’s swim meet, my wife—riding shotgun and awake the entire time—turns to me and asks:
“Which way did the directions take you?”
We’ve been on the same journey, but apparently not the same trip.
