I'll have to think about the rest, but those are the only 3 that are no doubt HOFers to me.

The reason Plank wasn't on my list is because he was put in by the "Old Timers" Committee not the Veteran's Committee. Yet I guess I could have lumped the two together, but I hear the Veteran's committee get more flack for bad picks.
