Yeah, I have found memories of Olerud and Fonzie on the Mets. I don't think Keith Hernandez ever got enough love from HOF voters. He wasn't your prototypical power 1B but he still hit for a high average, drove in runs, and was basically a defensive genius while also serving as captain of the Mets during one of the best stretches in their history.

Oh I have to give John Franco some love too. I never expected him to make the HOF but the fact that he went one-and-done on the ballot is sad. I'm guessing many of the voters felt his numbers were more of a result of longevity rather than sustained excellence, but he had some really good years.
