Very interesting baseball trivia question
With the emergence of Strasburg, Mauer would also fit here if he continues on his path.
How many Number 1 overall baseball draft choices have made the Hall of Fame? Correct answer is 0. A good bar question Highest to ever make the Hall of Fame was Reggie Jackson drafted at Number 2, Puckett, Yount, and Molitior were drafted at Number 3

It will be interesting to follow Strasburg throughout his career. The biggest question with him is he going to stay healthy.
And this years #1 might come down the road with even more hype

I think Strasburg has a great chance of making the HOF. If he can stay healthy that is and thats the big question.

Should be noted
Griffey Jr, A-Rod, Adrian Gonzalez and Chipper were all taken Number one overall, so won't last too much longer with Griffey retiring Here are some of the other notables  Brien Taylor Phil Nevin Paul Wilson Matt Anderson Kris Benson Pat Burrell

Quote:
I know baseball is widely considered the hardest sport in which to project young talent but there is no excuse for top picks so often being wasted on bums like these guys, what a frigging joke. Josh Hamilton is another currently active number one pick who comes to mind and while he is obviously fully worthy in terms of talent, the Tampa Bay front office somehow managed to miss some fairly serious personal issues before making such a huge commitment to him.
