Players that would have been HOFers if they could have stayed healthy

J.D. Drew. but as a Phillies fan I'm obligated to say he brought the injuries on himself

Fuck that guy and all of his brothers too.

He might not have made it because he was very underrated but Jon Matlack had some good years. He would have had to stay healthy and also go to a good team at some point

Straw & Doc were't injured

Well the topic said "stayed healthy" so I'd say that counts

Game 6, 2013 World Series. No lie, I said to my brother pregame "Stephen Drew has been hitting the ball hard, he connects with one tonight"

Side note, I'll never understand how David Ortiz was intentionally walked just once in the first 5 games of that WS. He was hitting .733

Blake Swihart

[Pure Steel]

J.R. Richard

Dick Allen

Dick Allen

A very puzzling snub....Not sure health played a factor outside of injuring his hand in 67'....His numbers were solid after that.....He should be in the HOF though....

 

[msgkings322]

pretty serious injury

Career ending

 

[Clayton]

Probably Adam Wainwright

Yeah, most of his career was before my time but his games played dropped off once he hit his 30's so I figured he had nagging injuries that made him retire early.

You need to go back pretty far for Herb Score, who got hit in the face with a line drive.
Score was maybe better than Koufax.

Berra and Mantle threw him a ton of praise....His elbow injury finally did him in.....My dad mentioned his name when I was a kid, guy was legit....
