Currently the only members of the 500 Home Run Club not in Cooperstown are PED tainted or still active.
Edwin Encarnacion is 86 big flies away. He turned 37 in January and hit 104 homers over the last 3 seasons, including 34 in only 109 games last year. The season being delayed reduces his odds, but 500 remains a realistic possibility. If he gets there, will (not should) he get elected?
I say yes. Probably not first ballot, and not without controversy, but old voting habits die hard. Plus, Harold Baines just made it. Things are trending big Hall.
