Here is the list of eligible players for the Hall of Fame next year, via Mark Feinsand.
(* indicates first time on ballot, italics indicated played as a Met)
Roberto Alomar*
Kevin Appier*
Harold Baines
Bert Blyleven
Ellis Burks*
Andre Dawson
Andres Galarraga*

Don Mattingly
Fred McGriff*
Mark McGwire
Jack Morris
Dale Murphy
Dave Parker
Tim Raines
Shane Reynolds*
David Segui*
Lee Smith

Of the 26 players eligible, five served some time with the Mets.
- Alomar: 222
- Appier: 33 games
- Segui: 33 games
- Ventura: 444 games
- Zeile: 441 games
None of the five have any reason whatsoever to go into the HoF, if chosen, as a Met. So you’re safe for another year, Tom Seaver.
Who do you think makes the Hall of Fame next year?
