Keith Hernandez is arguably the best first baseman that ever played the game. 11 Gold Gloves. Two World Series rings. One powerful stroke. Unfortunately for the former New York Mets slugger - he never received much consideration from the Hall of Fame. That\'s where we come in. Let\'s get the man they call Mex back on the ballot or at the very least considered for the Veteran\'s Committee in 2011. Sign here and lend your support to a man who was more than his mustache. He\'s a legend, an icon... and to quote "Seinfeld..." He\'s quite simply "Keith Hernandez."

Watching the comments section fill up with childhood memories of Keith playing at Shea Stadium reminds me why I started this project in the first place. His defensive impact on the game was truly elite and he belongs in Cooperstown regardless of the current committee bias.

Seeing this level of support for Keith makes me realize I am not the only one who remembers the pure magic he brought to the diamond every single day. The momentum behind this feels incredible and proves that his legacy deserves more than just a passing glance.

He most definitely deserve’s to be in the Hall Of Fame. He changed the way first base is played outstanding glove work!!! Let’s reward him for his play on the field not for his mistakes off the field!!! #17

How is he not in already?? Best fielder at first base in history by a mile. Nobody played the position like him.
