Which Yankees Baseball Hall of Fame snub is most egregious?

Yankees are the most successful team in professional sports. Aaron Judge and Alex Rodriguez have won MVP awards since 1990. Derek Jeter was snubbed in 2006. The voting for the Baseball Hall of Fame is sometimes an anti-popularity contest. The winner is decided on Sabermetric argument. It is supposed to be weighted in the Hall’s vote. However, the balloting often turns into a battle for who can make the best Sabermatric arguments.

Jorge Posada, a Yankees catcher, was snubbed from the Baseball Hall of Fame.

According to JAWS system, Posada is the 19th-ranked catcher of all time. He's behind Bill Freehan (16th), Gene Tenace (13th) and Yadier Molina (22nd). Baseball Reference gives Posado a rating of 98.

Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy were the Yankees' best players in the 1980s. They didn't get enough votes to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. They were on the Veterans' Committee ballot this year, but they couldn't beat Fred McGriff.

Bernie Williams played for the Yankees from 1991-2006. He helped the team win four World Series titles in five years. Williams is a center fielder who played in a high-scoring offense. Kenny Lofton fell off the ballot after two years and is not in the Hall of Fame.

Thurman Munson's career was cut short when his plane crashed mid-season in 1979. He was a legend in baseball and deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. He finished top-10 in MVP voting three times, nabbed three Gold Gloves and made seven All-Star teams.
