Informal Hall of Fame Opinion Poll

[Robextend]

Jesse Haines out, Blyleven in.

[steve B]

Alejandro Pompez out

He owned a couple teams, was a scout who signed some good talent like many scouts, and knew enough history to help pick some players for induction. And that's about it.

Dwight Evans in

Consistent batting not superstar batting, but if he'd hit 5 more homers he'd be in. Plus he was a great fielder, One of those guys that saved a lot of runs because of people not tagging up or trying and getting thrown out.

Tommy McCarthy out, George Van Haltren in.

[glynparson]

Dick Williams out Bert Blyleven in.

[E93]

Bill Mazeroski out - How does a lifetime .260 hitter get in in the first place?
Joe Jackson in.

[bbsports]

Bill Mazeroski out, Gil Hodges in.

[Anthony S.]

Jesse Haines: Out. Buh-bye.

Bert Blyleven and Dale Murphy disguised as Siamese twins, in.

[abrahamrudy]

I would never take anybody out. But Blyleven should be in.

[esehombre]

Loved the picture of Don Sutton--that is perfect!
Substitute him for Dick Lundy

Rhett,

Which of the 37 HOF Negro League players would you get rid of?

[bbcard1]

Probably not a popular opinion on this board, but Chick Hafey out, Roger Maris in. Though Yankees are over represented in general, but Maris did great things in the face of great obstacles while Hafey did good things in the face of few obsticles. Both had short careers for HOFers...

[Batter67up]

Bill Mazeroski out Gil Hodges in. Above being a great player he led the 69 Mets to a World Championship as a Manager!

[Peter_Spaeth]

About 1/3 of the current members out, Joe Jackson and Pete Rose in.

[Matthew H]

I'd like to see Bill Dahlen get in. in 1894 he hit safely in 70 of 71 games with a 42 game and 28 game streak. He had good power for the dead ball era.
Plus he was a Dodger Champion so my opinion is biased.

As far as the modern era, the obvious answer is Pete Rose.

[munsonman]

Ozzie Smith and his back flip highlights OUT
Alan Trammell and/or Barry Larkin IN
Trammell/Larkin complete players-hit and field
Ozzie-one dimensional- great fielder who couldn't hit even on the astro-concrete field in St Louis
