I'm happy Whitey made it. A true baseball man, that changed the game before small ballparks and juice fucked it up.
Andre Dawson deserves to be in. 5 tool player that was crippled, figuratively and literally, by the shitty stadium in Montreal. I recently watched a tape of Ryne Sandberg's induction speech, very good one, and when he called on the Hawk to stand and take a bow, the guy could barely get out of his chair. I'd take him over Rice all day long.
Blyleven I think should be in. His only fault is that he played for shitty teams. He's up there in Ks, shout outs, complete games, and has a good win total. I think no one has lost more 1-0, 2-1 games than him.
Alomar- I don't like him as a person, but he was a good player. I don't know about first ballot, but he's going to get in there sometime.
McGwire-Fuck him.
Fred McGriff- Crime Dawg would have been one of the top sluggers of the past 20 years, if his stats weren't over shadowed by Steroid Stats. I don't think he'll make it in anytime soon, but he'd get my vote.
Larkin- I was never a big fan of his, but I wouldn't complain about him getting in.
Donnie Baseball- If his back injury happened at the end of his career, he'd be a lock. It happened in the middle and took part of his prime along with his power. You can't get in at first base with Gold Gloves. It pains me to say he'll never get in.
Murphy, Parker and Morris....Murphy and Morris will probably get in eventually through Veteran's Committee.
