Do you think Gary Sheffield has a shot at the hall of fame?

Question

He's 38 I think with 478 homeruns....

Answer 1

Sheffield will be a 1st ballot hall of famer.

Answer 2

yeah wrong forum, but a decent question.

If the question is just "does he have a shot", then the answer is undoubtably yes. Will he get in...probably. Look at the body of work, the consistency over time and look what he is doing this year. It's not like he is Barry Bonds and his career is winding down in the next year or 2. Gary is potentially going to hit 35-40 hrs this year. If this pace keeps up for the next 3-5 yrs and he can play in the AL where he can play DH at the end of his career, he is going to have awesome numbers when its all said and done. Plus, he is pretty much a .300 hitter, 100 RBI guy and the bat speed is incredible for ANY generation. The fact that he is not that great a fielder comes in a little, but since when does that prevent you from getting in the Hall?

Also, maybe more importantly in this generation, he might be able to escape the BALCO/Steroids controversy. Although he was initially named, it was never proven and for the most part, public perception does not link Gary w/ roids, not the way that Sosa, Bonds, McGwire and Palmeiro are.

Answer 3

9 all action picture star video games, on the edge of 500 HRs, over a million,500 RBI, over a million,500 runs scored.... he's at the instant under 10 hits removed from 2,500. he's likewise drawn over a million,3 hundred walks, his profession OBP is .398. he's have been given a exceptionally sturdy case. he's been traded an undesirable lot. His communities have made the playoffs six situations so some distance...that's an "ok" finished, even though it extremely is not great. and additionally you will't inevitably say that maximum of communities would not have made the playoffs devoid of him. No participant in historic previous is extremely resembling Sheffield... the main comparable participant is Jeff Bagwell (ss 895)... this could truthfully be a controversy in his choose, because of fact great gamers tend to have very few gamers who're resembling themselves, together as hassle-free or somewhat above ordinary gamers tend to have many gamers who're very comparable. Of the ten maximum comparable gamers, 5 are interior the HOF, and a 6th (Griffey) extremely would be: a million. Jeff Bagwell (895) 2. Ken Griffey (877) 3. Willie Stargell (863) * 4. Fred McGriff (854) 5. Billy Williams (854) * 6. Duke Snider (842) * 7. Mickey Mantle (842) * 8. Eddie Mathews (840) * 9. Frank Thomas (838) 10. Jim Rice (834) Sheffield does ok, yet no longer great, on the Keltner attempt (six good-10 MVP finishes, impact on pennant races, and his numbers assembly HOF standards)... no longer a great style of black ink, # of all action picture star communities is borderline, lacks character... he's extremely been sturdy sufficient to play efficiently after passing his best. And he became between the perfect 3 hundred and sixty 5 days in, 3 hundred and sixty 5 days out outfielders in the process his time. Being a jerk can artwork against him, yet odds are, he will finally get in, except he's formally suitable to steroid use. however the added you get from a gamers profession, the extra significant his numbers become interior the known public's (and writers/electorate) assessment of him. plenty will additionally count on who else is eligible on the comparable time as Sheffield... each now and then a qualified participant can get buried whilst different, extra qualified applicants emerge... yet Sheffield's profession numbers will possibly get him in finally, nonetheless possibly no longer in his first 3 hundred and sixty 5 days of eligibility.

Answer 4

he will be in there as long as he stops crying racism where there isnt any proof in his statements.

as a player hes good enough

as a person hes good enough(if he can keep his mouth shut)

500 used to be the line to make the hall of fame so i dont think his homers will be the reason he makes it new homerum guidlines will be around 600 in the future. he has a great lifetime avg over .300.
