MLB History: The best player from each franchise not in the Hall of Fame

Best MLB players not in the Hall of Fame: Toronto Blue Jays, Carlos Delgado

WAR value: 36.8

The Toronto Blue Jays are another interesting MLB franchise. They do have two World Series titles, but those came in consecutive years in 1992 and 1993. And when it comes to Hall of Fame talent, Carlos Delgado stands out as an easy choice.

Delgado spent 12 years with the Blue Jays after being signed as a teenager. He launched 336 home runs in Canada, which gives him the franchise lead. In general, he finished his career with an impressive mark of 473 home runs.

The left-handed hitter was an absolute force in the Toronto lineup. He had 30 or more home runs in eight separate years and was a doubles machine as well. His 343 doubles with the Blue Jays has him atop that all-time list as well.

After leaving Toronto he spent one season in Miami and four with the New York Mets. But his best baseball came north of the border and while he may never be enshrined, he is a legend of the Blue Jays franchise. Unfortunately, he was never able to play in a postseason game with his first club.
