Honestly, I would vote for all 10 of them in the HOF.

I'd say they all belong (and as one other poster noted, Fred McGriff too, who would be close to the top of my list among those guys).
The hall is way too clubby than it needs to be. Also, you can't go back and kick the guys from the 30s out whose careers fall pretty clearly into what we consider "Hall of Very Good" territory today thanks to basically arbitrary changes in standards over the years. Those guys are the standard for admission, not Ruth. There is easily enough deserving players out there today to double the HOF population.

Fred is in a different Veteran Committee bucket (called the Today era or something like that) that handles players of the last 20 years or so. So, I suspect whenever THAT particular committee vote occurs in the next few years, he'll be on the list.
