I failed miserably to get 5 guys into the HOF last year, only getting
sure fire choice Marvin Punto. I attempted to make an impassioned
plea to get 5 deserving players into the HOF and I fell on my
face.....throw me a bone this year fellas........no more random votes
for guys who will never make it........lets get these 4 guys in the HOF!!!
1)
LF Bill Malone
- Bill "Sam" Malone made his name as part of the legendary Colorado
Ballvalanche team that includes other monsters such as Roy "The Natural"
Bell and "The Big O" Omar Castillo. Malone helped his team to a World
Series ring in S7 and then took home the AL MVP in S9 when he hit 63
HR's and had 189 RBI's, to go along with a .370 BA and a sick 1.249 OPS,
not to mention 172 Runs and 207 hits; did I forget to mention 36 of 43
SB's? Over his career Malone picked up 5 All-Star nods and 3 LF
Silver Slugger awards. In the end, Malone did it at the plate and on
the bases and was one of the biggest bats in the biggest offensive
juggernaut this world has ever seen. His final number are as follows:

2)
Closer Matt Kelly
- Mr. Kelly is the first closer in world ARod to reach the magical
number of 500 career saves. Kelly racked up 6 All-Star appearances and
earned the S11 AL Fireman of the Year award. And don't think Mr. Kelly
was doing all of this in obscurity...oh no, he was the finisher on two
World Series winners in S9 and S11 for legendary owner gydk and his once
might Psychos. Kelly's best season wasn't the one where he got the
most saves, but instead in S8 he closed 22 of 24 games, held opponents
to a .177 batting avg, had a WHIP of 0.81 and an ERA of 1.56. This kind
of magic led to gydk trading for him and the rest is history

SP Johnny Vernon
- Meet the man who teamed up with HOFer Marvin Punto as one half of
the most dominant pitching combination the World of ARod has ever seen,
Johnny "Mount" Vernon. Vernon was nothing short of fantastic during
the Mets magical run as he picked in the S1 NL Rookie of the Year and
then followed that up with 4 straight NL Cy Young awards, not to mention
the 5 All-Star nods he was awarded. "Mount" Vernon's line in S2 just
might be the best this world have ever seen: 24-2, .096 whip, 1.88 ERA,
215.2 innings pitched, 27 of 32 were Quality Starts, and teams on hit
.192 off of him. Sick.

4)
1B Alfredo Sosa
- Alfredo "Say it Ain't" Sosa is one of the true smash brothers
that have come thru this world. Looking at his stats from S3 thru S11,
it's truly shocking that Sosa only picked up 1 MVP---S5. Despite not
picking up a few more MVP's, Sosa definitely pickup up plenty of
accolades along the way: S3 AL Rookie of the Year, 6-time All-Star,
2-time Home Run Derby Champ and 4 Silver Slugger awards. Think about
this; Sosa averaged 60 Hr/year during the first 10 years of his career,
and ranks 3rd all-time with 718 career bombs. That's not all he did
though---see the .315 career BA.
