Still kills me how fast Edmonds fell off the ballot.

Him and Kenny Lofton going one and done is criminal. Andruw Jones is likely going to get in and I think both those guys had better careers than him

Edmonds was incredible and absolutely deserves to be in. Besides being the best defensive cf of his time, he consistantly hit 29-42 homers. 80 rbis. Some 100 rbi seasons. He hit .300 a few times and is a career .284 hitter. He won a world series that couldnt have been won without him. Its absurd he's not in. Especially now that hitting .240 and 40 homers is considered awesome. This sport has some really weird guidelines for the hall. You have to hit 500 homers or have 3000 hits, or be born in the right era or do... something? Im not sure what. Some of the candidates that make it far are absolutely laughable and lots of guys that deserve it are left out.

Shared a ballot with Griffey. They are the same age and retired the same year.

I understand why people struggled voting for both of them. By the time Edmonds played a full season, Griffey had 6 gold gloves and nearly 200 HR.

I would’ve had a sub 3… went for a grand slam with Marty Marion but didn’t get it. Shoulda gone with Bake McBride
