The Oakland A’s have over a half-century of history in the books, and it’s filled with star players. Several have made the Baseball Hall of Fame after long careers wearing green and gold, but many more are on the outside looking in.
The question we’re looking to answer here is, who is the best A’s player not in the HOF? The candidates are split into four categories, and in the first two posts we examined the 1970s three-peat champion Swingin A’s and the 1989 champion Bash Brothers Era. The community voted in a poll at the end of each post, and the winners of those groups were Vida Blue and Mark McGwire by sizable margins.
