The Best Current Players Not in the Hall of Fame
The Hall of Merit does one thing I like: force a specific number of players elected (Elect2 or Elect3, depending on some alternating scheme). Anyway, there are 12 players from this generation that were voted into the Hall of Merit, but still await the fate of the Holy Writers Who Use Numbers But Don’t Judge Players By The Numbers Of North America (HWWUNBDJPBTNONA). Dewey Evans is probably the one player that has received the biggest shaft of them all.
The best current players not in the HoF are ARod, Pujols and Bonds. No current player is in the hall, you’ve got to be retired to be elegible.
My point is: Your headline should say: “The best Players not currently in the HoF” or something like that.
