Because he doesn't belong there.....seriously.

Larkin could hit , Dave is more in the Ozzie Smith comparison.
I think Concepcion does deserve to get into the HOF. His stats are definitely better than O. Smiths but Smith did win more awards than Concepcion including 6 more AS appearances & a WS ring. Still I see him on the ballot within a few years or maybe as a Reds fan I'm just hoping.
PC=Giancarlo Stanton, Kemp, Longoria, Tulowitzki, Griffey Jr, Pujols, Jeter, Randy Johnson, Helton, Biggio, Bagwell, Chipper Jones, Votto..
I trade for similar cards.  (07-09-2014, 09:42 PM)manningsecnumbr1fan Wrote: I think Concepcion does deserve to get into the HOF. His stats are definitely better than O.

Collecting John Stockton, Karl Malone, Ivan Rodriguez, Gary Carter & UF player rookie year cards. Plus Jedd Gyorko rookie and prospect cards.

He was part of the Big Red Machine. Yes I know Bench, Rose, and others put up bigger numbers. For a time he was the top SS in the NL. Or at least one of the top two or three.
he was the 6th or 7th best player on his team
Dave Concepcion is probbly one of the most underated players of the modern era. Yes he has good numbers, yes he played his position good, yes he was a 9 time all-star during his career ect ect ect. Other then that during his career he never was a standout player he was on The Big Red Machine of the 70's, he had teamates that had better numbers and stood out from the rest of the pack Concepcion never really did that. Does he belong in the Hall of Fame I dont know. I do think we need to make harder to get into the Hall of Fame by raising the so called magic numbers except for pitchers maybe lower the win totals. Only because the game has changed alot and the training practices of the players have changed.
Concepcion isn't in the Hall of Fame simply because he didn't get enough votes. I would put him in the Hall of Very Good Shortstops.
