American Association players - such as Pete Browning - have been slighted , too, since the beginning.

Sheffield was in the Mitchell Report

Fantastic video. I could listen to KO for hours. Funny as hell and almost always right.

Herman Long ranks 40th in career WAR among SS. A contemporary of his, Bill Dahlen, also not in the Hall of Fame, ranks 5th. Ahead of Derek Jeter, as well as Hall of Famers: Luke Appling, Arky Vaughan, Ozzie Smith, Barry Larkin, Joe Cronin, Robin Yount, Lou Boudreau, Ernie Banks....

Dahlen should be in before Herman Long

I don't see why Olbermann is so hard for this guy. He isn't a HOF player by any measure, sabermetric or traditional. Not even close.

@@peterchoe Because much like Gary Sheffield this year, Herman Long was screwed over by people people who have no right deciding who should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame

The BBWAA: one of the many reasons for the death of the sport everyday

what about Gil Hodges Roger Maris and Pete Rose all hofers

baseball has been around for over 2 centuries

Herman Long has a lifetime batting any of .277 in the dead ball era 🤔. That’s around the league average for his career span. Meh

If your saying Larry Walker should be in the Hall of Fame you dont understand the modern career statistical criteria. I would trust Wagner and Mack on Long. Fred McGriff is borderline at best. A flood of old pitchers will get in over the next few years as 300 wins becomes more elusive.

Herman Long is not a Hall of Famer. Not even that close.

Maybe hall of good but not hall of fame

Keith has skills and perspective. He also knows how to puss off vindictive individuals

Too bad he is severely wrong on the postseason just bc his favorite teams didn't win

Alan Trammell is not a HOFer and Sheffield was on Peds.

So much hot air about something that's not that important. Wonder how long KO admired himself in a mirror before this one...

It's a sports show, talking about sports and players not in the hall of fame.
