Got this idea from NFL on Twitter.

Regardless of sport who is the best player not elected to their sport's hall of fame?

I would add to the thread Title the word eligible between "best" and "player"

For NBA I would say Artis Gilmore.
For MLB its Burt Blyleven.
For NFL its Ken Stabler or Chris Carter.

Yeah the lifetime ban sucks and Selig doesn't have the balls to overturn it. But overall I think the baseball HOF ridiculous with their nomination process.

Since Pete is out because he's not allowed in, and his has nothing to do with his stats, I'd say Bert Blyleven or Jack Morris are the best not in Cooperstown.

MLB - Pete Rose

NFL - Ricky Waters/ Cris Carter

Can't think of any for the NBA. Seems like the basketball HOF is the easiest to get in out of the 3.

obviously a shill thread for Rose....it was about due time for some Cinci fan to ask the perennial question. That it would be Rose is pretty obvious. But most importantly, there is a very good reason he's not in...and it should serve as a lesson and precedent for those who think they can break the rules and not have to pay the punishment.

I would like to see Rose inducted...posthumously.

Except I am an Indians fan. My intention was not to create a shill thread for Pete Rose. As I mentioned I saw something similar on Twitter about the NFL and decided to run it past the OC faithful.

Can't believe that no one has mentioned Ben Mauk for the NFL HOF.

Haha. Yes, kidding. Everyone was posting the exact same thing and the thread was going nowhere. I guess I'm no good at showing sarcasm.

Only one person can be THE best not in, of course, but a few baseball names who are probably deserving (that haven't been mentioned):

Frank Howard
Ron Santo
(maybe) Gil Hodges
(maybe) Don Mattingly
