In Baseball, A Player Is Generally A Cinch For The Hall Of Fame If He Hits 500 Career Homers?
Is there a similar goal in other sports?
Is there a similar goal in other sports?
I think Bert Blyleven and Jim Kaat should be in there. Who do YOU think should be in there?

Surprisingly, Yogi is tied for 1625th place with 9. I thought he'd be higher myself.
Most Japanese ballplayers, e.g., Ichiro, had significant careers in Japan before signing with a Major League team. Should both Japanese and American careers be considered when these guys are put on the Hall of Fame ballot?
the way they played in there prime
Well I don't specifically have 1, I have a couple and here they are:
Walter "the big train" Johnson- One of the best pitchers in baseball history.
Harmon "the Killer" Killebrew- One of the best batters to bat right handed, and was a monster when it came to hitting homeruns. He is ranked 9 at the moment.
Rod Carew- He has one of of the best swings ever, and was an amazing batter.
Kirby Puckett- My ALL time favorite baseball player ever! He is one of the best the game had. He had great defense, offense, and was one of the most caring guys ever. He is one of my heros.
And any year now, Bert Blyleven will be added to the list.
he must be eligible for the hall and not in
