From 1996-2004, the Hall of Fame ballot included Keith Hernandez. The former New York Mets star first baseman who also had his share of success with the St. Louis Cardinals checks off many of the boxes we usually think of when we consider players for Cooperstown.
Hernandez won an MVP, made multiple trips to the All-Star Game, and owns a pair of World Series rings—one with each of the teams he spent the majority of his career with. A lifetime batting average of .296 and a record 11 Gold Gloves as a first baseman should help his cause.
