jay berhens The new HOF ballot was relleased today. Who would you vote for?
The complete ballot (x-first time eligible): Bert Blyleven, x-Brett Butler, Gary Carter, x-Vince Coleman, Dave Concepcion, x-Darren Daulton, x-Mark Davis, Andre Dawson, x-Sid Fernandez, Steve Garvey, Rich Gossage, Keith Hernandez, x-Rick Honeycutt, x-Danny Jackson, Tommy John, Jim Kaat, x-Darryl Kile, Don Mattingly, Jack Morris, Dale Murphy, x-Eddie Murray, Dave Parker, x-Tony Pena, Jim Rice, x-Ryne Sandberg, x-Lee Smith, Bruce Sutter, x-Danny Tartabull, x-Mickey Tettleton, Alan Trammell, x-Fernando Valenzuela, x-Mitch Williams, x-Todd Worrell.
Mine would go to:
Blyleven, outstanding pitcher on some really bad teams in hitter friendly parks.
Carter, best catcher of the 80s
Morris, best pitcher of the 80s
Murray, best switch hitter since Mantle
Rice, in his prime no one wanted to face him
Sandberg, best 2B since Morgan
Lee Smith, career leader in saves. Watching all these young guys burn out early makes his record more impressive each year.
Sutter, with Quizenberry one of the first dominant closers in the game.
Trammell, part of possibly the greatest double play combo in history, and he could hit too.
