After all of the talk about the 2013 MLB Hall of Fame class (or lack there of). I began thinking about which active players for the Blues Rams and Cardinals have a shot at making the Hall in their respective sports.
For the Blues I think Petro has a chance but its way to early to tell he would have to win at least one Norris trophy if not multiple and be in consideration for the award annually. Which I don't think is un realistic for him at all. I think players like oshie and backes could get their numbers retired by the blues if they stay with the team through their whole careers.
For the rams I think Steven Jackson has a shot if he can run for 1,000 yard again next year which I think is possible but not a given he is getting up there in age but 8 straight 1,000 yard seasons is the definition of consistency. The fact that the rams have never been over .500 in his tenure here hurts his chances a lot. And only 2 double digit total touchdown years doesnt help either.
For the cardinals I think Beltran has a decent shot as he was a fantastic all around player and a member of the 300 300 club. If he can get to 400 homers (currently at 334 at age 35) his chances will increase. Also 3 gold gloves in centerfield is also a great help to his case.
If molina can get to double digit gold gloves and keep up his offensive production from the past 2 years for another few years. I think his number will definitely be retired by the cardinals if he stays with the team for another 5-7 years. Also obviously Pujols is a HOF guy for his time is STL.
Just my opinion.
Tell me what you think!
