Earlier today, Mike Whiteman laid out the Hall of Fame case for Roger Maris. In his article, Mike noted that Roger Maris was not the best player at his position who is not yet in the Hall. The following are the highest ranked eligible right fielders not yet enshrined in Cooperstown:
Dwight Evans (16th)
Reggie Smith (19th)
Sammy Sosa (20th)
Bobby Abreu (22nd)
Bobby Bonds (24th)
Gary Sheffield (25th)
Which of these players, if any, should be elected to the Hall of Fame?

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."
—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life
"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Abreu, of course :) There's a lot to like about Dwight Evans. 67 WAR Eight Gold Gloves 385 home runs when home runs weren't easy
