The Hallway deserves it as well, considering all the shining stars involved.

Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall desrverve to be in that hall. They were the biggest stars of them all. The fact that their performances were enhanced by drugs shouldn't matter. Everyone in Hollywood was doing cocaine back then.

Wagner is in his final year of eligibility, and the margin will be razor-thin either way. I personally don't like "closers" in the Hall, but will be interested to see his plight. I think he might barely miss out.

I'm still shaking my head over Lee Smith. There are many relievers not in the Hall better than Lee Smith, including Billy Wagner.

Sabathia LOCK

NOT

Maybe since it's getting easier to get in.

CC looking like a first ballot inductee and Schilling not being in is ridiculous. CC only exceeds him in games, wins and IP. He does have one Cy. Schilling's post season numbers and results greatly exceed CCs.

I deplore most of Schilling's post career behaviors but his on field results make him worthy.

I also would like Jeff Kent to be given a better look if Chase Utley is gathering steam.

"He's a horse every fifth day, and a horse's ass the other four."

The Hall of Fame vote tracker has accounted for 43.6% of the votes cast this year already. Sabathia has 93% right now. He's a lock. There's no way the remaining unknown votes will be under 61.1%. That would be the biggest difference ever in the tracker history by a lot

I stand corrected..

Wagner was five votes short last year, and is currently 8 new voters for him and nobody who voted for him previously removing him.
