Keith Hernandez's Cardinals Hall of Fame induction speech

Keith Hernandez: "I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be a part of this Hall of Fame. ... I can't thank you enough."

LOVE Keith Hernandez! I’m a spoiled Mets fan who gets to listen to this wonderful man on SNY/PIX 11 from the first spring training game to the Mets last game usually the first weekend in October. I was too young to ever see Hernandez play for the Mets, but from the old games I’ve watched; Hernandez is one of the best 1st baseman to ever play baseball! 🧡💙

I got to meet him through his grandmother outside the Houston Astrodome when they were boarding the bus after the game in June 1983.

He will always be a Cardinal, not a Met

[@subwaygoblin1325]

@@justanothergoy5900Bitch the Cardinals banished his ass to the Mets, only for him to lead the Mets to kick the Cardinal’s ass and win the World Series. He’s a Met

Fascinating talk from one of the smartest men ever to play the game, and someone who helped me develop love for the game when I was young.

Bout time he made it into the Cardinals HOF. Long over due. Watched him play as a young man. My favorite player

That 1982 team was spectacular. Great group of guys to root for.
They should have won it all in 1981, but missed the playoffs on the last day of the season. Could have been a dynasty.

Second last day. Expos clinched the second half on Saturday, October 3 at Shea Stadium.

What a team they had. Congratulations to Keith. Very happy for you.

[@thehaughtcorner]

What a tremendous defender he was! HIs aggressive style at first base revolutionized how the position was played.

[@rogerwilliams5366]

"Nice game, pretty boy!"

Keith Hernandez once punched a man in his soul. It was the fastest K.O. in boxing history.

[@johncummings5350]

Was it Whitey Herzog??

[@robertosso5210]

Hes going in the hall of fame if he gets in as a met

[@davidgrillo9928]

class act

[@jerseyforhawks]

Wow, acknowledged by both Cards and Mets (now). "Whitey told me one time, Keith, your traded to the Mets....".

[@MyMeTube]

What a Met he was
