Great article right here by SI's Tom Verducci regarding Carlos Delgado. It's particularly interesting to me since I've been debating the past couple of days with friends on the guys who are eligible for the Baseball HoF who aren't in, but SHOULD be in. Delgado's numbers are impressive. As you'll find in Verducci's article, his HR total from the span of 1996-2003, he's tied in 9th place in HRs with Ken Griffey, Jr. with 292.
Says Verducci:
This season, be it anything close to ordinary for him, Delgado will become only the 11th player in baseball history with 500 home runs, 500 doubles and 1,500 RBIs. It is a club with no back door. The others: Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Eddie Murray, Griffey, Ramirez, Palmeiro and Bonds.
That's pretty elite company. So is Carlos a HoF player?
