Modern Hall of Famers in the Hundreds Slots N - Z
We continue today with the back half of the alphabet...
Phil Niekro- never
Tony Perez- never
Gaylord Perry- never
Kirby Puckett - four times - 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 That's better than most Twins stars
Tim Raines- never
Jim Rice - three times - 1979, 1980, 1981 A nice little three year run for Rice
Cal Ripken - four times - 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997 He got his hundreds towards the end of his career, as he was zeroing in on the ironman record.
Mariano Rivera - one time - 2013 Only once for the save king?
Alex Rodriguez - five times - 1999, 2000, 2001, 2010, 2012 This number seems low, but there were also several years where he was card #1 in the set.
Ivan Rodriguez - once - 2004 Another catcher without much recognition.
Pete Rose - five times - 1971, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987 Only four times for the hit king? He's got quite a span between his first and last appearance.
Nolan Ryan - four times - 1975, 1978, 1986, 1993 Only four times for the strikeout king? He's got quite a span between his first and last appearance.
Mike Schmidt - seven times - 1982 thru 1986, 1988, 1989 Surprised it took until 1982 for him as he was a big stud in the late '70s.
Tom Seaver - four times - 1970, 1976, 1979, 1980
Ozzie Smith- never
John Smoltz- never
Willie Stargell - two times - 1974, 1975
Bruce Sutter- never
Don Sutton- never
Ichiro Suzuki - six times - 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2016 For a while he was on an every other year schedule
Frank Thomas - one time - 1996 Looks like the snub applied to both sides of Chicago
Jim Thome- never
Alan Trammel- never
Dave Winfield - one time - 1982 A big Yankee with just one appearance? Wow
Carl Yastrzemski- never
Robin Yount - never
Phil Niekro- never

Yesterday I asked about the least memorable players to get 00 numbers. I looked through a few checklists--just a sample--and here's a nominee: in 1987, Dave Bregman gets 700! Gary Carter, Tony Gwynn, Ozzie Smith, and Tim Raines were all more or less in their primes and had never gotten a 00 number, but Dave Bregman gets the call. Yeesh.
ReplyDeleteOzzie, Yaz, and Yount are the biggest shocks of the day. Oh... I guess Ryan only having four appearances is surprising as well. I'm not too surprised at Mo only making one "00" appearance. He's hands down the greatest reliever... but he's a reliever.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Never took the time to appreciate that 1982 Topps Winfield. That's a great looking card.
"That's just Topps being Topps!"
ReplyDeleteSutton is overrated.
ReplyDeleteI'm really surprised that Frank Thomas wasn't on more. He was in that stratosphere with Griffey Jr. as far as cards went in the 90s. Maybe they were mad because he had a product contract with Leaf. Also wonder how many of these guys were #1 instead of the round number. Oooopsss...
