I know it's dumb, but I still think of Joe Torre in a Cardinal uniform, listening to him play with Jack Buck and Mike Shannon doing the play-by-play. Maybe no less silly than remembering Yogi Berra grew up with Joe Garagiola on The Hill in St. Louis.

Biggio and Piazza have a decent chance, but I remain wary after that little hissy fit the BBWA writers threw last year. I would doubt any other second-year players make the cut. I wish CrimeDog McGriff would get in, if for no other reason than his passionate endorsement of the Tom Emansky instructional videos.
