Mine are:

Scott Rolen - most underrepresented position in the hall of fame is 3B.

7× All-Star (2002–2006, 2010, 2011)
World Series champion (2006)
NL Rookie of the Year (1997)
8× Gold Glove Award (1998, 2000–2004, 2006, 2010)

Billy Wagner - somewhat of a shortened career but amazing when healthy.

7× All-Star (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010)
NL Rolaids Relief Man Award (1999)
2.31 career ERA

I forget professional baseball is a thing anymore. There aren't any superstars or household names.

I agree with Rolen. 70.1 WAR is 9th highest all time 3B, he really was under appreciated even in STL because of him and TLR not getting along. He should get in.

Andruw Jones. Best defensive OF ever and a pretty good hitter, even if he had no plate discipline and fell off a cliff after he left Atlanta

Shoeless joe and Pete rose.

Curt Schilling isn’t in the Hall of Fame.

Harold Baines IS.

Let that BS sink in.

There’s more young talent (superstars) than I can remember since I started watching in the mid-80’s. Baseball doesn’t have the popular appeal that the NFL and NBA have, for whatever reason (assuming it has to do with marketing). I kinda like that... it seems to allow the game to stay the game; less gimmicks/novelty than the others. NFL is trending toward WWE. Don’t watch NBA anymore.

If you have an affinity for the game, it’s a helluva time to be a fan IMO.

ETA: not that MLB does not have its faults and shortcomings, but it’s still the most “pure” of the big 3, IMO.
