The committee finally acknowledged what we knew all along and Al Oliver is getting the recognition he deserves. It has been a long and exhausting road to get here but your persistence paid off. I am tired but relieved that we saw this through to the end.

The path forward is exhausting but we are nearing five hundred signatures. Please send this link to anyone who knows the game because we need a surge to get this package ready for the committee.

As a lifetime Phila. Phillie fan I have always respected Mr. Oliver as a consumate all-star and ball player. As a life time .300 hitter and only 257 hits short of 3,000 he belongs in our HOF. He is certainly in mine. Best Wishes Scoop!
Saw many games in Montreal ...Oliver s 1982 season ranks as one of the best ever ...look it up.Even when he made an out( not often) the ball was crushed. If we had Oliver before we would ve won the pennant.
I have gotten to know Al fairly well over the last 20 years via the Baseball Legends Fantasy Camp in Columbus Ohio. Al is truly a wonderful human being who was blessed with a ton of athletic skills. His enormous abilities on the field are only beaten out by his character off the field. I am proud to call Al a friend and a baseball legend.
Hit over .300 ELEVEN TIMES. .303 LIFETIME BA over 18 seasons. 2,743 hits. Those numbers add up to a HOF player. Only Rose and Carew did it better during the era that Al played.
There are only 51 players in the history of mlb with more hits than al oliver..how this man has been ignored all this time is criminal..he is a hall of famer without a doubt..wake up and vote al oliver into the baseball hall of fame
One of the best hitters ever.
Al, Crime, Dog, and the Cobra for the hall

Al is is a Hall of Famer. Anyone who watched him hit knows that. He demonstrated for a long enough time that he was one of the game's all time great hitters. Just because he came up a little short of the "magical" 3000 hits should not prevent him from entering the hall. Please get something right for once and put Al in.
