I am a huge Dale Murphy fan so I am biased when it comes to him, but I can not believe that Dale and Abdre Dawson do not get more support. Murphy played with some of the worse Atlanta teams ever and put up huge numbers (for the 80's). His career was derailed due to a knee injury that no one was able to come back from except Barry Bonds, and I think we all know how he was able to do it. |

Gossage and John might get it, I think. Murphy is a longshot. |

Gossage and Rice deserve to get in. But what about Dave Concepcion? No way? |

Well, I am apparently one of the few that thinks Concepcion has gotten jobbed. He was an integral part of the Big Red Machine Championship Teams, and a perennial All-Star. The best shortstop in the NL for at least an 8 year span... |

If Gossage gets in and Blyleven doesn't, it's a travesty. |

How many children did Garvey conceive at the signing that day? |

I think Concepcion is deserving -- especially when judged against Mazeroski. Concepcion was a huge part of that team. |

I recall a time when Concepcion and Bowa were going along through a season, and both had good error free streaks going. I think Concepcion finally makes one. A few weeks later, the Phillies and Reds are playing. During warmups, Bowa says "Hey Elmer, how's it going?", and "Good hit last night, Elmer" to Concepcion. After a few minutes of it Davey asks Larry why he's calling him Elmer, his name isn't Elmer, it is David... Larry Bowa replies, "I'm sorry, I thought it was Elmer. I just know I saw 'E CONCEPCION' in a box score the other day." |

Well, Frank, that's true I suppose. Concepcion was a leader at his position...but was he truly great? Probably not. |

Reading through them, the only player that jumps out is Concepcion. He's the only one deserving of induction from that list. |

I was a huge Dodger fan growing up and Garvey was my favorite player. That being said, he's no Hall of Famer.. He was a very steady player, All Star numbers for two different teams but if you start letting Garvey type players in then it will eventually take a full week just to go through the Hall of Fame. There are obviously 2 tiers of players in the Hall. 1st ballot no brainers like Ruth, Gehrig, Aaron, Mays, Mantle, Cobb, etc. and then there are the ones that got in but were not obvious hall of famers to everyone. Lets not add a 3rd tier please.. Garvey to me, falls in that 3rd tier. martyOgelvie nyyankeecards.com |
