Pretty shocking fact for me, even with the SEC's dominance in baseball being only over the last 20-30 years.

Was he playing before the conference was started? That would make sense.

Compliments of the Baseball America podcast. So I have no link.
Rafael Palmeiro would get in wasn't for that whole steroids thing.

I'm trying to think of some other big time SEC players, but most of them didn't have HOF worthy careers.
Tim Hudson, Todd Walker, Ben McDonald, the Cy Young winner from Kentucky that I'm blanking on now.

Albert Belle career was better than most of those guys.

Belle should get in, but probably wont. Cliff Lee. Palmiero would have been the first I guess if he hadn't had his issues. Will Clark should be in IMO.

I think he is one of the most underrated players of the 90's as far as HOF case. His 9 year prime is HOF caliber. He just was out of baseball one year after his prime so that really hurt his counting stats. Also he is a raging maniac.

Todd Helton just finished a pretty nice career
