Gary is a hall of fame player end of discussion
💉 💪🏽
Facts 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
It's stupid politics man. Like so many in the media did not like Gary, that's part of the reason he's not in the HOF.
So is Barry Bonds. Bonds is 2 HOF players put together. But connections to Balco and being confrontational and not well liked is apparently enough to keep out the greatest player in history.
Sheff is just another casualty of the era and similar to Bonds in how he's perceived by the biased and flawed writers.
He should have made it today.
As an Atl fan. I always loved Sheffield! You deserve Hof! 💯 Good luck, Atl fans love you. Very proud of the years we had you!. I tell everyone about the great batter who whipped a bat like a rattle snake!
Crazy he didn’t get in. Shame on baseball. One of the all-time greats!
Ive been watching Gary Sheffield since 2001.
Insane that he's not in the HOF.
You're my DH in MLB The Show and are always hitting me nukes! Love ya, Gary!
Definitely hall of famer. Second most iconic swing of all time behind junior
LOVED & FEARED HIS BATTING STANCE!!!!
I tried to copy that stance, without even realizing it. Then I looked around entire local teams. Most of us were doing it!
He had incredible bat speed! 💥
The veterans committee better get him in there next year!!!
He should be in the Hall of Fame without any question
My Favorite Player when i first started playing Baseball as a kid, In the Yankees
When Gary Sheffield was with the Marlins it was worth the price of admission just to see him hit He is that good Hall of Fame is where he belongs
Gary also signed everything for fans. Class act
So sad that Beltre & Mauer get in with nowhere near the number Sheff has, I really think it’s that one offseason he spent with Bonds that is keeping him out, guilty by association with zero proof of anything, numbers never spiked, head didn’t swell up like Bonds’ did, sadly today having the numbers isn’t enough if you’re thought of in the same circle as Barry. 😢
One of the 🐐's
He and Carlos Delgado quietly did their thing, and there's guys like McGriff, too. McGriff, Baines... they finally got into the Hall.
When Sheffield goes, the dominoes may truly start to fall.
What happened to the days that a player got 3000 hits or 500 home runs and you were assured induction?
One of my favorite Yankees ever
4:29 that argument is a crock of shit. Look at freaking David Ortiz in the HOF. Everyone knows that dude was a roider. Sheff needs to get in the HOF already.
He's a very clear HOFer to me. I don't even know if the PED thing is what hurt him. I do think it is because no team really has a claim to him. He bounced around so much and no one seemed to want to keep him that long despite how great he was. That hurts an election bid. He easily should be in with his numbers, but that is my guess. Because the PED connections feel way shakier than guys that are already in (like Ortiz who had such a clear dividing line between okay to legendary and Bagwell who we all know used). Gary was the same hitter from beginning to end, no matter what position he played. There is hardly a RHH in the history of the game that was more feared.
like Sheffield, there so MANY other GREAT players who are NOT in the HOF/but should be, in my opinion, they are ...Keith Hernandez, Mark Grace, Bill Buckner, Pete Rose, Dave Parker, Steve Garvey, just to name a few...they waited for Ron Santo to die, to put him in. after decades of him trying to get in.
This is crazy the hall of fame should let the fans vote then vote on that
Unfortunately, Sheff in not getting in. He had a connection to Bonds and that is enough for the voters to overlook him. Too bad, Gary was a great player and has to numbers to be inducted.
Listen to how he is speaking from the heart. You can tell he didn't take any of those PEDs bs.
As the NFL which is the national pastime now, they have just recently selected Julian Peppers and Antonio Gates who actually tested positive for PEDs. In baseball, we have individuals who never tested positive and they are not elected/selected. Canelo will eventually be in the boxing hall of fame, Sharapova will be in the tennis hall of fame, and these individuals were suspended in their sports.
Same OUTER Space!!!
World series champ and hall of famer…
Put Sheff in the HOF
It still bothers me that Gary Sheffield missed out on the HOF total highway robbery. I mean I got classic trading cards of this dude and really one of the more iconic stances and swings in baseball tbh.
Hold on. How is he not in the HOF?????
I just saw the newest hall of fame inductees and Gary is twice as good as anyone on that list
Its an embarrassment to baseball and the hall of fame to omit sheffield
Somebody really has it in for this guy
Over 500 Homer's and a 292 career batting average and almost 2700 hits
Ridiculous amount of bias against Gary
HoF
THEM FOLK HAS BEEN WRONG SINCE THE EARLY DAYS OF BASEBALL. THEY SAY THE BEST OF THE BEST IS IN THE HALL OF FAME. HOW CAN THAT BE??? SHEFFIELD WRONGED, JOSH GIBSON NOT GETTING CALLED UP, SATCHEL PAIGE NOT GETTING A CHANCE TO PITCH AGAINST THE SO-CALLED BEST, JACKIE ROBINSON BEING TORMENTED WHEN HE DID PLAY, CURT FLOOD BEING OSTRACIZED, AND MANY OTHER DENIALS NOT MENTIONED BY A BOARD 0F MEMBERS WHO NEVER EVEN SWUNG A BAT. GO FIGURE??? SHEFFIELD, YOU ARE THE EPTIOME OF BASEBALL SINCE THE AGE OF EIGHT.
the masses DON'T know. it was Curt Flood who fought for FREE AGENCY in baseball. it cost him his career, and his spot in Cooperstown.
Dude was a masher, always wondered why he bounced around so much? 8 teams over 22 years?
It wasn’t really Sheff’s fault that the Padres then the Marlins traded him in a “fire sale” tho. 🤷🏾♀️
@@LadyDuchess 👍
It's time to remove the voting power from the writers and media. There's enough current living HOFs that are able to form a committee to vote.
A real shame. Sheff is a Hall of Famer!
He had 6 of his 8 best seasons after he spent time working out with Barry Bonds. Those 6 seasons happened after the age of 30. Its not crazy he didn't get in nor is it a sham. Most players have had their numbers inflated from PEDs by 30% to 40%. I don't doubt he put in the work to as a PED will only help so much but I don't think he belongs in the Hall. He will likely get in from the veterans committee down the road.
In my opinion just because you used Steroids doesn't exclude you from the Hall. Bonds, Clemens, Manny and A-Rod were all hall of fame bound before taking PEDs. Its the players like Palmerio, Piazza, Bagwell, and Sheffield that took PEDs and were not likely going to make it in without them that should remain excluded.
That is bull*hit. What does "working out with Barry Bonds" mean? I mean, you live on the same planet like Adolf H*tler used to. Can I consider you as a Na*i now? Barry Bonds had the best eyes in Baseball history. You can't get that with PEDs. And 6 seasons after 30... You know the word experience? I mean, I wouldn't have a chance against an MLB Pitcher. But when I see pitches every day for 10 years, I would hit 500% more HRs than today, without PEDs. That is the same bull*hit case like Pete Rose. And don't forget 94 and 95 were no full seasons. Of course the numbers are not there were they should be.
There is no concrete evidence without a doubt to make this claim. An allegation is not a conviction. That's not how the court of law works. The MLB had no problem ranking in Billions off of these players when they knew the league had a problem, but now they want to act like innocent protectors of the "integrity" of the sport. Give me a freaking break.
Damn smh I wish 😢
Its political!! How is Harold Bains in the Hall of Fame and not Gary Sheffield?
😞
HOF 'r
Balco. Balco. Balco. Balco. Balco
Agreed
No. He was just a witness.
PED was surrounding his legacy
It’s a disgrace Gary isn’t I the HOF. I know there was talks of him and PED’s but ppl need to look into those talks. He was questioned about having knowledge of bonds taking PED’s and being a customer of Balco and buying vitamins (ZMA). Him along with countless other players were questioned but everyone assumes he did PED’s which isn’t true or fair. Writers are a joke. And she do some basic research
Gary admitted to using PEDs (the cream) but claims he did not know it was steroids. He paid for said cream with cash. BALCO was in California, he was not. Being a jerk does not help with people who vote believing him. As far as being a HOF player, if ALL players used steroids, then OK. But we can never know how many HRs he got off of pitchers not using. Or how many times he got a line drive by a player who didn't use. Sorry. Not a HOFr. HOF induction is based off of numbers, and his number were artificially inflated. 509 HR with steroids. 409 without? Really good, but not HOF.
Dude is for sure a HOF’r
Butt hurt sports writers who had their feelings hurt shouldn’t be voting in Hall of Famers.
This BS is exactly why the MLB has fallen in the dumps.
