These players aren’t even remotely as forgotten as the Negro League Hall of Famers not named Satchel Paige or, to a lesser extent, Josh Gibson. Consider Buck Leonard, the “Black Lou Gehrig, John Henry Lloyd, the “Black Horus Wagner” for whom Wagner appreciated the comparison and Babe Ruth declared the best baseball player, Oscar Charleston who people felt was better than Willie Mays, Cool Papa Bell, Martin Dihigo, a player so versatile that he played all positions and could play them well, or Rube Foster that taught Christy Mathewson his famous “Fadeaway” pitch which was the progenitor of the screwball. You should do a video about them. Also, if you don’t know who they are, learn about them.

[@elig8127]

Finally, someone who actually gets it. Disregarding the great Negro League players isn't just a disservice to yourself as a baseball fan, it's a disservice to the players who were literally barred from playing in the MLB simply because of their race.

One other name, less of a player than Justice (who I already named in a prior comment), is JT Snow. This one is personal for me. I grew up going to see the AA Yankees team when they played near Albany NY from, if I'm remembering right, 87-94. JT Snow was on the team, and I remember him always taking the time to chat with the kids by the dugout, always signing stuff after the game. So I will always remember him, but I think everyone should. He won 6 straight gold gloves. I can't really make a statistical argument to remember him, but he was a fantastic defender and a solid(ish) hitter. .268 avg, career OPS+ of 105. In the post season though, he raked. In his one World Series, his slash was .407/.448/.556 with an OPS of 1.004 For his career in the playoffs he slashed .327/.383/.480 with an OPS of .863 in 28 games. To top it all off, he made the play of the 2002 World Series when he crossed home plate and snatched up Dusty Bakers son who was the bat boy and about to be caught up in a potential play at the plate. If you never saw it, I'm sure it could be found just by typing JT Snow in the KZbin search. It is easily the thing he was most famously known for a couple decades ago.

Gary Sheffield. That guy was one of the best hitters in baseball from his 2nd season in the majors until his last. He should have been first ballot HoF, instead, he was during the steroids era, and only those extremely liked by the media get in (Jeter, Ortiz, Chipper, Thome)

[@Gemnist98]

Sheffield won’t be forgotten, largely because he is in the 500 home run club. But he’s also trending towards Hall of Fame enshrinement next year. Also, you should know that Thome wasn’t liked by the media, not because he was aggressive to them, but because he was so humble they never got a chance to interview him. It got to the point where some actually assumed, despite his insane home run numbers, that he wouldn’t be a first-ballot pick, but thankfully he was.

[@unkledoda420]

3 of his 4 seasons with Brewers were terrible. He wasn't really considered a good hitter until he left Milwaukee after his 4th season.

Eric Davis was great

[@unkledoda420]

Byron Buxton reminds me of Eric Davis. 5 tool talent centerfielder but cannot stay healthy for a full season to save his life.

[@SmoothCriminal12]

Ellis Burks. Similar to Cedeno, he had rare mix of great CF defense, decent pop, good speed and good average early on. He went mostly unnoticed until he went to Colorado and started hitting large amounts of home runs (Including a 40 HR/32 SB yr in 96), not just there, but with San Fran and Cleveland as well.

[@unkledoda420]

His problem was he was injury prone. In the 10 seasons before that 40+ HR season with the Rockies that you mentioned (1987-96) he only had over 500 plate appearances like 4 or 5 times. In the early 90's, in one of his few full seasons with the Red Sox, he was an all-star, won silver slugger and gold glove awards, and got mvp votes. He got plenty of attention before he started hitting tons of HR's, the problem was he wasn't usually healthy enough to warrant a whole lot of attention.

[@nukelaloosh6620]

Kenny Lofton. Career .299 hitter that was always on competitive teeams, despite being shopped around in the last third of his career. Lead the league constantly in stolen bases and could cover more than almost everyone in Center. Such a great player and was massively snubbed by the HoF committee since he was being judged by his home run count despite being an on-base guy.

[@seabrook1976]

13:30 I believe that's Hall of Fame Monte Irvin.

[@MetFanMac]

Further on Carlos Zambrano, he is one of 63 pitchers since 1900 to maintain an ERA+ of 140 or more over four consecutive qualifying seasons and one of 51 in the same period to maintain an ERA+ of 130 or more over seven consecutive qualifying seasons. Sure, in both cases he's near the bottom of the pack -- surrounded by both literal legends (Dizzy Dean, Warren Spahn) and other "hey, it's that guy"s (Mort Cooper, Hippo Vaughn) -- but he's on the list regardless. Kevin Appier is even on a tier above that -- one of 35 with an ERA+ of 150 over four straight and one of 29 with a 140 over seven straight.

Kevin Appier was an elite ace on a terrible team and even worse franchise at that time. Especially with how the media covered the MLB wether it be on a local or national scale, he had top 3 stuff for several years during his prime. We mentioned the 14-11 season where he wasnt even talked about... 14 wins on the team he played for was abnormal. If he was on the Braves, Mariners, or Yankees during his prime... He would have been close to a 30W guy

[@travismcnamara8919]

That video brought back some memories! Personally, I'm a bit of a weirdo, my alltime favorite player is Willie McGee because he was a speedy, switch-hitting centerfielder with a great glove. I love any player who fits that criteria, but McGee was almost as skinny as my scrawny ass (a former coworker who was born and raised in Somalia said I was the skinniest MF he had ever seen!) and I appreciated that deeply lol. He might not have necessarily been a HOF'er if it wasn't for the injuries, but his 85 season was insane .353 BA, 10 HR, 82 RBI, 56 SB, 26 2B, 18 3B MVP GG AS. The injuries came the next year in 86 and derailed what could have been an amazing career and it happened to my fav football player in 86 too. It was a shitty year.

David Justice. O.878 OPS and 129 OPS+ for his career. His 162 game avg is 93 runs, 31 HR and 103 RBI with 4.1 WAR. He played on 2 MLB champions, 6 pennant winners. In his 14 seasons he was in the LCS 8 times. In the long history of baseball, he has the 99th best AB/HR ration ever. I know top 100 doesn't seem like much, but when you're talking about roughly 12,000 or so position players in history, it is pretty impressive. He also won an ALCS MVP and had two top 5 finishes in MVP. I think he got less than 1% of the votes and was one and done on the ballot.

Like Microphone Ch That dude steels all his info & analysis from ESPN then comes on his Ch and acts like he’s coming up with it

[@mattramos1005]

Too much inaccurate info in this video to enjoy it

[@charlesclinton3305]

His MLB stats were not super impressive but I'd love to see a video on Skeeter Barnes, a guy who spent 12 years in the minors with three different organizations before finally getting a chance to play regularly with the Tigers in 1991 where he was a solid player off the bench.

You posted a picture of Monte Irvin for Willie Mays.

Came into the comments to say this.

Man, you really butchered some names…

[@nunestunes]

Tony Phillips play just about every position and did it well. Got on base very often too, the ultimate utility guy with career 50 WAR

[@TOCC50]

Josh Hamilton

[@gregthegroove]

Zambrano was as much a reason the Cubs were good 2003-2005 ish. Wood, Prior, Zambrano, Sammy Sosa, Alou, Aramis Ramirez was a great hitter, they had Nomar Garciapara in 04 Derek Lee, a fantastic bullpen and Dusty Baker. What a shame

[@Bc232klm]

Placido Polanco. Longer career than most remember, and lead the league in hitting later on in it too.

[@Bc232klm]

16 year career, over 2100 hits, career .297 hitter, and you can barely find any clips of him on youtube at least lol.

[@Karmy.]

As a Tigers fan I will never forget Polanco, absolutely incredible 2B

[@JackieDaytona1776]

He almost lead the league in hitting, but never actually did

[@Bc232klm]

@@JackieDaytona1776 Ah, maybe it was straight hits? Maybe I'm just remembering the race for the title. Just have memories of him on the Cardinals starting out, then popping up later as one of the best hitters in the league.

[@sumner-kv3gh]

He had a head shaped like an alien

[@snerdterguson]

It was really cemented how much Appier has been forgotten when you showed the few rare clips you could find, and they are basically all clips of someone else hitting a homer off him. Sad. I remember him, and he was such a group at pitcher. Royals were REALLY good at developing pitchers for a while there.

[@ChristopherBowenSuperbus]

When Appier was on, the ball seemed to do things you can't do with a baseball. His fastball had rise to it. His breaking stuff was in its own class. There should be a separate Hall of Fame wing for some of those 80s and 90s pitchers who really got stiffed by HOF voters. Hell, the Royals can make up a significant part of that with Appier and Bret Saberhagen, right behind the king of this class, Dave Stieb.

[@snerdterguson]

@@ChristopherBowenSuperbus I mean, I liked them but they aren’t hall worthy to me. They didn’t have the career or a peak that was good AND long enough. They deserve to be remembered though.
