should be in hall of fame

Pretty cool watching Keith arrive in NYC in 1983 and has now beloved even by fans that never saw him play live.

Amazing to see this man’s number lifted to the rafters for eternity today

Ozzie was safe at first

Seinfeld sits were comedy gold, but only true Met fans know what a legend this guy was! Total winner and one of the smartest ballplayers I have ever seen!

Olerud was the closest we've come to seeing a 1B like him since.....I see why Keith was Jerry's favorite player. Fundamentally sound and clutch. But also....hella swag

Greatest fielding 1st baseman ever. 296 career batting average. Clutch world series performances. MVP...plus in MVP voting year after year Hall of Fame

Totally agree....I think his connection to drugs earlier in his career has kept him out so far. Hopefully the veterans committee gets him in at some point.

I’m 76 years old and Keith is the best first baseman I have ever seen!

Keith Hernandez… One of the best clutch hitters.

Keith Hernandez = MAGIC !

I am not really interested in Baseball and watch this only because of Seinfeld...but this is great

Great highlight reel of the best 1B in Mets history! Was hoping to see one of Keith's patented hits past the 3B off a lefty pitcher, idea for the next reel. 🙂

Those were special times in NY . The Mets and Yankees had two of the best fielding 1st baseman to every wear a glove

.296 Career Batting Average,.384 On Base Percentage,162 Home Runs,1,071 RBI,11 Gold Gloves,League Co-MVP(1979),1982,1986 World Series Champion,5 Time All Star!

Frigging Sandy Alderson " overhyped" and said Keith had a .446 OBP lifetime. I knew he was way off on that stat.

David Wright was better imo. Love Keith tho

Greatest defensive first baseman ever. Him to Herr/Smith back to him. Vacuum up bunts. Shifted momentum in ganes. Career .296.(over .300 if not injuries late in career) Great eye walkd often Led 2 teams to WS titles. He did coke. That he isn't in the Hall of Fame is a disgrace.

Absolutely a magician at 1st!

Best defensive first baseman ever

Legend.

Now that gil hodges made it, Keith should be next for the Hall.

A. big maybe.

Nice game pretty boy

Keith Hernandez needs to be in the Hall of Fame as soon as possible

The two best defensive plays by Keith are missing: The one against the Astros, where he fields a fair groundball in foul territory and the throws out the batter at first, and the 3-5-4 double play against the Reds.

I always loved Keith's home run trots 👍

I think Keith Hernandez deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, but at this point he isn’t. Hernandez was the greatest defensive first baseman who hit for high averages each year and was clutch in big situations. Unfortunately, there were so many good first basemen in the National League during the times he played. In the 1970’s there was Willie Stargell, Tony Perez and Steve Garvey and in the 1980’s there was Mark Grace, Will Clark and Jack Clark, but overall the mark he left on the game should never be forgotten. He was a leader who won in St. Louis and in New York. What more could ge have done?

He also appeared on Law & Order.

SOOOO handsome! He looks like Pierce Brosnan

Smartest player I have ever seen!

Keith's parents must have been special because Keith is special

Almost everything here is from 1983 and he was only a Met since mid June when the trade was made from St Louis.

Ozzie smith was safe

How has he never been a manager?
