HOF time!

[novakjr]

I'm not going to list anyone that's currently on the ballott. So, Santo, Trammell, Ted Simmons, Joe Torre(as a player), Luis Tiant, Hodges, Oliva, Minoso, Albert Belle, Bill Dahlen, Mel Harder. Managers- Houk, Murtaugh, Billy Martin, Torre again(I'd like to see him in as both a player and manager).

There's plenty more, but these a the first that came to mind.

I agree with Joe Torre, that's who I was thinking as well. I think he'll eventually get in especially as since his current job allows him to have contact with those in power.

I think the HOF should take on a historic view of the game and create a section of the HOF dedicated to the pioneers of the game. Ross Barnes (and others) should be recognized for their contributions to the game.

As far as Joe Torre is concerned I think he should make it based on both his playing career and managerial career. Some might argue that he should make it as a manager alone but please consider this - even Lenny Dykstra couldn't have screwed up managing those teams that were given to Torre.

He's not a veteran, but IMHO i think Fred Mcgriff should be inducted. He was a classy and consistent guy. He could have hit the 7 more homers he needed to get to 500 but alas i think he was too humble to drag his career out.
WTG Crimedog!

Cannot argue with the Crime Dog being inducted.

Mcgriff should be in the hall for sure...a class guy who had a wonderfully consistent career! Easily a qualified and deserving member of the hallowed hall>

I think Gil Hodges should have been in awhile ago.I'd also like to see Tommy John
in also.Also Ron Santo.
