Comments on: Prediction: 10 Veterans Committee picks http://baseballpastandpresent.com/2009/11/23/prediction-10-veterans-committee-picks-within-our-lifetime/ A Historical Look at the National Pastime Sat, 12 May 2012 20:33:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Graham Womack http://baseballpastandpresent.com/2009/11/23/prediction-10-veterans-committee-picks-within-our-lifetime/#comment-4388 Graham Womack Sat, 21 Aug 2010 05:23:17 +0000 http://baseballpastandpresent.com/?p=161#comment-4388 There are great hitters I think the Veterans Committee should honor before Oliva, such as Al Oliver, Jake Daubert, and Will Clark. Those three men and 17 other eligible players who aren't enshrined have at least 2,000 hits and a lifetime batting average over .300, unlike Oliva who had a .304 career clip but finished with 1,917 hits. I'll be writing more about this in my next edition of <a href="http://baseballpastandpresent.com/category/does-he-belong-in-the-hall-of-fame/" rel="nofollow">Does he belong in the Hall of Fame?</a> which is a Tuesday feature on this site. Anyhow, thanks for stopping by. There are great hitters I think the Veterans Committee should honor before Oliva, such as Al Oliver, Jake Daubert, and Will Clark.

I might leave Ron Santo off. Urban Shocker? I'll have to look him up. I would put Alan Trammell on top of this list. I might leave Ron Santo off. Urban Shocker? I’ll have to look him up.
