Gary Sheffield was a feared slugger who tallied 509 home runs, 1636 runs, 2689 hits, 1676 RBI and a career .292 career batting average over 22 MLB seasons. He is 1 of only 4 players in MLB history with 500+ home runs and 250+ stolen bases. Of the 28 members of the "500 home run club" only Mel Ott and Ted Williams have less career strikeouts. A 9 time All-Star and 5 time Silver Slugger, Gary received MVP votes in 7 different seasons including 6 top 10 finishes and 3 top 3 finishes. Gary was an instrumental part of the 1997 World Series Champion Florida Marlins batting .292 with 7 hits and 5 RBI in the 1997 World Series. Despite all this success there are many who think that Gary does not meet the HOF criteria bases on his stats, hardware, and "fame" factor. I disagree, however, PED allegations have plagued his Hall chances to the point where he has one more chance on the BBWAA ballot this year. Will Gary get elected? What are the facts behind the PED allegations? Find out more in this episode!
