Fisk and Carter played in Boston and New York on wildly popular teams (75 Sox and 86 Mets). Simmons played for mostly bad teams in St Louis in the 70's and only made it to the series once for small-market Milwaukee.

I agree, I just didn't want to play the "East Coast Bias" card

I totally agree on the call for all three Managers. 3 of the top 5 Managers of all time in wins should make it a no brainer......

I am certainly not sure but I believe the morality clause in the selection process for the Baseball Hall of Fame eliminates Steinbrenner from ever going in?

He has a conviction for the illegal contributions plus the suspension for what he did to Winfield?

Of course there are plenty of rogues already in but the BBHOF does make a distinction opposed to the Pro FB HOF which seems to encourage criminals?

Plus what did George ever do for baseball, he only did things for Geroge and I grew up a Yankee fan.

If LaRussa is in, then McGwire should be in too.

Nope. Why does the manager of cheaters get a free pass? He has always supported the actions of McGwire and his win totals were padded from his steroid use. Their cheating impacted the results of games.
