The Baseball Writers of America recently voted Paul Molitor and Dennis Eckersley into the Hall of Fame, but ...

Fifteen players will be dropped from next year's ballot because they failed to be selected on at least 5 percent of the votes. That group includes first baseman Keith Hernandez (22 votes), who was on the ballot for nine years.

He always has his Seinfeld memories at least.

was he any good?

sinatrastar · 01-06-2004, 05:21 PM

He was in Game 6!!!!!

Then again even Elaine played first base, so who knows.

I am actually not a Mets fan, he was good, dont know if he is worthy of the Hall of Fame, apparently he isnt.

Nice to see the Indians picked him up while he was still useful (rolls eyes).
