2 of them, but Tim Raines in '96 & '98 wasn't the impact player to the Yankees that Molitor was to the '93 Jays.
It isn't that I don't think Raines doesn't deserve the HOF; just that the hall is so tough to get into that the ones who do make I don't think you can argue about either. And I'm not sure who makes it in from of Raines who didn't deserve it.
Heck I remember watching Rick Monday hit that HR.

Martinez was a great hitter, but I must say that I have my suspicions about him and maybe taking some performance enhancers. Guy was always a great hitter, but at an older age he started hitting for some pretty big power numbers. 37 home runs in Safeco Field in 2000? That and he was a DH.
I'd put Jack Morris in the Hall, what he did with the Twins in 1990 is one of the best pitching performances ever.
