I don't have any Harold Baines cards, and frankly, I don't want any. Nothing personal, I do not dislike him, but he just isn't a great ballplayer or a Hall of Famer in my opinion.

Yeah I struggle a bit with Cooperstown, when Gil Hodges can't make the cut, nor Mickey Vernon. And the whole business behind Buck O'Neil's exclusion just left a bad taste in my mouth (full disclosure I'm a Kansas Citian, and therefore biased here).
