13000 days ago (September 19, 1989), Royals pitcher Kevin Appier throws nine shutout innings, takes a no decision, and his team loses the game when Minnesota’s Shane Mack hits a bases loaded single in the 11th. Twins win a squeaker, 1-0.

If you remove the PEDs guys, the players from this era who should be in the HOF are:
Whitaker
Kenny Lofton
Keith Hernandez
Dwight Evans
David Cone
Bret Saberhagen
Dave Stieb
Kevin Appier
Chuck Finley
Orel Hershisher
None were even on the ballot. Again.

If I had to rank these players in order of how deserving of the HOF they are:
1. Bonds
2. Clemens
3. Sheffield
4. Mattingly
5. Murphy
6. Kent
7. Delgado
8. Valenzuela
And it's still inexcusable that Lou Whitaker isn't in and wasn't even on the ballot.

Kevin Appier should be in the Hall of Fame.
Since 1990, Kevin Appier has the 14th best ERA+ of any starting pitcher in baseball (min. 2500 IP).
I think it would be hard to find anyone who would put Appier on a top 15 pitcher list of the last 35 years, but he had a sneaky great career.

And, because they were not Seaver, Carlton, Palmer, Perry, Jenkins, Niekro, Sutton, and Ryan, we have missed out on deserving Hall of Famers Dave Stieb, Bret Saberhagen, David Cone, Kevin Appier, Chuck Finley, Johan Santana, and more. It's failing to adjust expectations to the world you live in.
“Rather than adjust my expectations for what a Hall of Famer player looks like, I will just say that no starting pitchers will ever be Hall of Fame-caliber ever again.”
I just hate this way of viewing baseball. No attempt to grapple with *why* things change. Just blindly raging against it.
