There is no denying that the Hall of Fame is the ultimate achievement for anyone playing baseball. After all, the Hall of Fame is only reserved for the best of the best, so who would not want to have their position at the top of the tree?
With that in mind, in this blog post, we are going to take a look at three MLB players who deserve to have their own place in the Hall of Fame. If you enjoy using MLB lines site Betway to place a few bets on the big games, we are sure you will have bet on at least one of these three mains before:
Juan Soto
There really is only one place to begin, and this is with Juan Soto. In a recent interview with Jose Bautista, he spoke about Juan Soto and how shocked he is that he is not already in the Hall of Fame:
“I just don't see how he doesn't get into the Hall of Fame already. He's had that good of a start to his career, and he's on the path, for sure, to accomplish at least that. He might end up in the top 20 players of all time if he keeps going the way he's going.
“Hopefully, health stays in his corner, and he can have a lengthy career where he can go in and out every year and do what he's capable of doing.”
Don Mattingly
Next. we have Don Mattingly, who was one of the best first basemen in the entire history of the MLB league.
Unfortunately, because he suffered from chronic back pains, this meant that he did not play as often as he would have liked, and we genuinely believe that this is the reason why he is being passed up for the Hall of Fame.
However, this did not stop him from achieving many accomplishments throughout his career, including winning nine Gold Glove awards during the course of his career, partly due to his outstanding fielding ability at first base.
Jeff Bagwell
Last but not least, we have Jeff Bagwell, who was one of the greatest players throughout the 1990s. He is also deemed one of the best-ever Astros players.
Like the other men that we have mentioned in this post, Jeff has won a number of awards and accolades during his time. For example, he won an MVP with the Astros during the 1994 campaign, as well as winning the NL Rookie of the Year award in 1991.
He was certainly one of the most offensive forces for Astros, hitting .297 during his career.
