User: Who is the top baseball player based on offensive categories that are not in the major league baseball hall of fame with no chance of getting in while alive.
Assistant: While there is an exhaustive amount of ways one could approach this answer, there is arguable only one player in all of the major offensive categories that is not in the hall of fame.  That player is Pete Rose.   Players like Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols may have better overall statistics in the power categories of baseball, but they still have an outside chance to get into the hall of fame, whereas Pete Rose has been banned for life by major league baseball and does not have any current pathway into the hall of fame.  Speculation is that this will change posthumously, but the executives of major league baseball will not consider any change to this status while he is alive.
