They just had great careers in different ways. The committee got it right with Mendez, Cooper and Ray Brown, but maybe dropped the ball on Dick Redding. I would have liked to see Redding get in before Pompez and Manley--hell, I would have liked Nip Winters, John Donaldson or Chet Brewer to get in before those two--but that's all spilled milk now. I'm choosing to focus on the 15 inductions they made that I'm happy with. It's cool people are talking about these guys, too. A lot more people know about Dobie Moore and Alejandro Oms and Red Parnell, for sure.
