New York Yankees great Bernie Williams’ Hall of Fame chances appear to be next to nil, but we’re genuinely not sure why.
A powerful hitter, agile defender, and clutch performer, Williams seems to be falling victim to whatever’s been plaguing Andruw Jones’ Hall chances the past few years (except one small difference: Williams won rings).
Bernie went Boom off the ballot in his second year of eligibility in 2013, accruing just 3.3% of the vote, but we’d like to write some wrongs. While his case is a bit less airtight than Andy Pettitte’s, the Yankees’ dynastic center fielder was so clearly better than these Hall of Fame outfielders that we feel the need to point it out.
