FabledFox+FollowGary Sheffield HOF push makes zero senseSheffield's numbers look pretty on paper – 509 bombs, World Series ring, nine All-Star nods. But Cooperstown isn't just about stats. This guy bounced between nine teams, had clubhouse drama everywhere he went, and let's not forget those steroid whispers that never fully went away. The contemporary committee's really gonna reward a player who burned bridges faster than he turned on fastballs? His attitude problems and character questions should disqualify him from baseball immortality. The Hall is about legends, not just stat accumulators with baggage. What's your take – do Sheffield's off-field issues outweigh his offensive production? #Sports #Baseball #HallOfFame00Share
Pamela Owens+FollowIs Blake Griffin a Hall of Famer?Blake’s career is one of the more complicated cases. Peak Blake was a monster: Lob City headliner 6× All-Star 5× All-NBA Rookie of the Year One of the best in the league for a solid stretch. Literally changed how power forwards played — transition handles, playmaking, above-the-rim showtime. He also had a top-3 MVP finish in 2014 and was the best player in some deep Clippers runs (when CP3 was injured). By contrast, his decline was steep. Injuries took away the explosives. Plus, he never made a conference finals. So, in your opinion, is he a HOFer? #NBA #BlakeGriffin #HallOfFame #LobCity #Clippers #Sports 33Share
