During the late-90’s to early 2000s, the Pittsburgh Pirates had a very impressive bat in their line-up. That bat was Brian Giles. Giles put up some extremely impressive numbers throughout his career. But when he retired in 2009, and first appeared on a Hall Of Fame ballot in 2015, Giles was a one-and-done ballot name. He didn’t get any votes and was taken off the ballot.
Every once in a while, a name slips into the Hall that confuses many. This is the case with former White Sox designated hitter/right fielder Harold Baines.
