    Hall of Fame Ballot

    I looked through the Player Reference, as well as every leader in batting and pitching at each position, and found only a few outstanding players who aren't already in the HoF. If you have a nominee, please post them and I'll update this list.

    1. Kelvin Stalker, 2B - Leads second basemen in career AVG, Hits, and Runs
    2. Shane Wilkin, C - Leads catchers in career HR, RBI, and Hits.
    3. Rob Keating, OF - 8-time all-star, 9th in career home runs, 8th in career OPS, 11th in career stolen bases, #2 among RF in career OPS, home runs, and stolen bases
    4. Ernesto Orta, SS - 5-time all-star, former league MVP and gold glove winner (excellent range, but usually too many errors), 11th in career hits, 9th in career runs scored, leads all SS in career total bases
    5. Jordan Shenk, SS - 7-time all-star, former league MVP, top hitter, and 2-time gold glove winner, 16th in career OPS, 9th in career stolen bases (but 4th in career caught stealing), #1 in career doubles, #2 in career triples, 16th in career hits, 12th in career runs scored, #3 among shortstops in career OPS (behind Coffman and Proulx)

    Wow, that list is really short. Looking through the in-game retired list in the Almanac, I just didn't see a lot of folks who's career can come close to stacking up to those already in the HoF. (Apologies for linking to G's site, but I don't have the Player Reference and can't find that tool.)

    Please feel free to add to this list!

    Thanks Jarien, I meant to include Shenk in the first place.
