This man has the most RBI's in postseason history. The haters saying he isn't worthy are all Red Sox fans.

Sorry, yet No. Bernie had a sturdy top (1998-2000), replaced into quite sturdy on protection decrease back interior the twentieth century, and replaced right into a key contributor to many postseason communities. He received a batting call. were given some All-megastar alternatives, some Gold Gloves, a handful of MVP votes in many years. it is a sturdy occupation with an applicable quantity of honoraria, besides the undeniable fact that this is not any longer a corridor-type occupation. If he hadn't worn Yankee pinstripes there does no longer be even this a lot talk of his corridor candidacy -- this probable needs a popularity like "Mattingly syndrome".

As a Yankee fan I'd like to see him make it but the reality is that his numbers are just not good enough. If there was a "Hall for the Very Good" he would be voted in. The only thing, I think, that he has in his favor is that he has won a batting title and has been a member of 6 American League Championship teams and 4 World Championship teams.
Let's put it this way, there are players in the hall of fame who don't have as good a stat sheet as Bernie so only time will tell.

Nope. Face it, he played part of his career in the steroids age where 287 homers just don't mean a thing. Heck, 500 isn't automatic entry to the Hall any longer. He had a good career, but he's not a HOF'er if you think objectively. Look at Andre Dawson's numbers - similar players - classy, quiet, clutch yet Dawson had better numbers and still can't get in.

Unfortunately he doesn't make it. If for some chance he does get in maybe a 10th ballot or something like that it will be based on his postseason career stats because they are just ridiculous numbers, but they are a product of more rounds being added to the playoffs.

Let's try some numbers in context:
Play-off numbers are distorted because guys like Babe Ruth could have a maximum of seven a year, not twenty-one. I really don't care about "play-off numbers" because of this.
He ranks #403 in Black Ink and #400 in Grey Ink. That looks at times you led your league or were among the league leaders. In other words, a WHOLE lot of guys have better numbers.
Not one of the players most statistically similar to him--over his career or year by year--is in the Hall or likely to ever be. Not one!
When would you have taken him as your center fielder over Griffey or Puckett in their prime?
He was a fine player.
But he is no Hall of Famer.

I'd say no. Though his numbers are above-average, there's really no area in which he was outstanding. Never won an MVP, only led the league in a major category once, and didn't come close to achieving any major milestone (3000 hits, 500 HR, etc.) that almost guarantee admission.

Just compare his numbers to the other names being mentioned. If they're in the running, Bernie, with all the hype and postseason opportunities of being a Yankee, has a great shot.

Sure he should. Those are good enough numbers, but how many times on here have you read someone saying, "Yeah, but he doesn't have a ring"? One reason Bernie has rings: he help win them. If his regular season numbers don't do it, look at his post season ones. Among other things he is the leader in LCS hits.
Yeah, he belongs.

Those are numbers that get you invited to every Old-timers game, that still sell your jersey years later, that maybe get your jersey retired. But that's all. I love Bernie, and he was a huge cog in the Yankee pennant machine of the 90s. But if Mattingly doesn't get in (which is fine), there's no way Bernie does.
