The Hall of Could Have Been

Lots of baseball players can recount tales that begin with some version of if only.

Tony Conigliaro could've been a Hall of Famer if only...

Ken Griffey, Jr would see his record threatened by Alex Rodriguez if only...

Dave Dravecky would've had a heck of a career if only...

Rick Ankiel woul've been the Rookie of the Year if only...

But some guys actually have beefs that have nothing to do with injuries. This is what the folks over at The Soul of Baseball were looking at in The Hall of Could Have Been.

The article itself is a good one, but the entire blog is excellent. Really nice - sometimes tongue in cheek look at lots of baseball topics.

Why? I'm thinking that all you (or I, for that matter) ever heard about Tony C were stories. Neither of us were alive when he was.
