From Black Balled to Dodger Blue?

Re: From Black Balled to Dodger Blue?

Canseco's trying to get to 500 HR and thinking that would get him to the HOF. With the way the game is changing i'm not so sure 500 HR is enough to get you in the Hall anymore.

No, if he doesn't get in it'll be because of his off-field antics.

I don't think it will matter if he hits 500 Home Runs or 5000, i think because of his off the field antics, and willingness to sell out other players, he will not be voted into the Hall of Fame.

I think there is a decent chance of him going into the HOF. Just for his statistics and the impact he had with the A's. But that's a very very slim chance.

How many teams did those "great" A's teams win? Exactly. He was a great slugger for a too brief period 86-91 or so. His '88 season was tremendous, but he was not a dominant player for a significant period of time, and that will keep him out. He can keep Fred McGriff company.
