With the New York Yankees bias out there, I started to think about how many Toronto Blue Jays were quickly overlooked in Hall of Fame voting.
In 2015, Carlos Delgado was put on the election ballot for the first and last time after receiving just 3.8% of the vote, which was shy of the 5% minimum to remain the following year. This was for a guy with 473 home runs and one of the true power hitters not accused of taking performance-enhancing drugs during the steroid era.
Looking more into Delgado’s career he was not only one of the better power hitters of his generation, but he could have potentially walked away with a couple of AL-MVP titles.
