Erstad & Percival make the 2015 HOF ballot

[Troll Daddy]

Good luck guys!

 

 

 

btw I paid $300 for a Erstad jersey

i remember reading this baseball chat or mailbag years ago on ESPN about the baseball HOF.  Some Angel fan was arguing with the writer about how Darin Erstad was a for sure HOF'er.  At the time I remember thinking this is the silliest shit i've ever heard/read, I dont care how big an Angel fan you are.  I was brought back to that moment immediately when I saw that he was on the ballot.  

 

 

Yea, Darin Erstad is definitely not going to the HOF.

I'm really hoping Erstad gets at least one vote. Percival certainly will get a couple. Edmonds should actually get a HUGE support once his turn comes around. I don't think Jim gets in but I actually think he surprises many with how much support he will get. 

[MVTrout]

Well, you are a troll. ;-)

[Michifan]

Love these guys but HOF, I doubt it. 

[m0nkey]

On the 2015 ballot, off the 2016 ballot

[Adam]

Those guys are already in the Copenhagen Hall of Fame

[T.G.]

It's a shame that in the 50+ years, this franchise doesn't have a HOFer that went in as an Angel.

 

Perhaps Vlad Guerrero will be the first?

[WallyWorld]

I'll preface this by saying Erstad is probably my favorite Angel player of all time . . .

 

but when I saw the thread title, I thought, "the Angels' HOF right? Certainly not MLB . . "

 

Percival I guess you can make a case for being on the ballot because of his career totals, but Erstad??? Again, I loved the dude as a player, but wtf?

I still maintain that had it not been for the devastating event on the night of Christmas Eve in 1979, in which 19 people lost their lives when his pick up truck hit a sheet of ice and swerved into that school bus, Ralston Schmidt would have been in long ago.

Assuming Vlad goes in (and I think he should) I'd actually like to see him go as an Expo.

Love both guys, but neither have a chance.

well thanks for reopening that old wound. i was almost over it.

 

jerk.

[Tank]

of the two, percy will get more votes because of his career stats, but neither of them is going to be on the ballot for very long.

No chance in hell for Erstad.  Percy, he may have a chance in hell.

What was a school bus doing out on Christmas Eve night anyway? School was out a few days before.

Wait a minute....there were 19 people who lost their lives on that night in 1979. 1979+19 = 1998. Ralston won 3 straight Cy Young Awards from 1975-1977. 1998+3 = 2001. Ralsty was born in September. He fathered 11 children with his wife. September + 11 + 2001?

I don't get it.

[Tank]

you forgot to carry the 3.

 

amateur.

I never understood why  Ralston was signed as a pitcher.  He supposedly was a better hitting prospect than his brother, Mike.

The MLB commish at the time decided the world wasn't ready for the first .500 hitter.

Was that on the New Jersey turnpike?
