436 Doubles, 479 HR's, 1,570 RBI's, and a .297 career average. Certainly Hall of Fame worth numbers, and when it's all done, he'll probably hit around 600 dingers. The stikes against him are obvious, played during steroid era, admitted to taking the cream (he said he thought it was arthitis cream), has been dogged by steroid allegations via Balco and the Jose Canseco book and others, he is a hard guy to like, ala Barry Bonds, seems to have a very poor attitude and has played for 7 teams which doesn't look good in my opinion. I think he'll get to 3,000 hits, but does that really mean anything anymore? I mean look at Rafael Palmeiro, he got to over 3,000 hits and then got a dirty test, and will he get in? who knows. I think it will take several years for Sheff to get in, but he will have to come clean finally, like Giambi has. And for Palmeiro to get in, he will have to climb out of that hole he's been hiding, shave that beard and for once, tell the truth. The truth always helps.
