Bill James has long ago stated that Minoso belongs in the Hall. In his book the Politics of Glory, he wrote "What many people don't recognize about Minoso is that although he has substantial HOF credentials as is , he is missing probably his best years due to his race. His career inside organized ball started late in 1948; he was already 25. James went on to write "If Minoso had been white, he might well have gotten started early enough to have 3000 hits."
Some by now view Minnie as sort of a joke....played all those once a decade games, but Minnie is truly a deserving candidate for the Hall, and has always comported himself with dignity. I hope he makes it.
