PrintFormer Angel Bert Blyleven is not in the Hall of Fame, and that is a shame.
There is an article on the Angels' website with an overview of his case.
Here is the simplest qualification: When he retired, he was 3rd all-time in strikeouts. ALL TIME. 3,701 strikeouts.
Open and shut case right there. 'nuff said.
