Opinion · Cooperstown Court
Keith Hernandez belongs in Cooperstown. First base cannot be judged by home runs alone.
Hernandez sits below the average Hall of Fame first baseman in career value and JAWS, but almost level at his seven-year peak. Add a 128 OPS+, a record 11 Gold Gloves at first base and an MVP season, and the total case clears the line.- Keith Hernandez
