Team manager/water boy is more like it IMO.

Hmmm.  Combined with the Phillies and Astros postseason's he's played in...I guess I can see how that's possible.  He's just so inconsistant year to year.

That means there are only 2 players (on the ballot or no longer on the ballot) that have reached both those milestones and are NOT in the HOF. Name them.
