What mgrs/exec's/umps would you consider future HOFers?
I know this is the pre-war forum, but I think the topic is somewhat relevant since most HOF collection threads fall into this forum. Anyways, here goes. There's a good number of us with HOF player/manager/whatever collections, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one that tries to beat the hall to the punch by also collecting players that I think WILL(or at least should) get in eventually. I'm pretty comfortable with my assessment of the players, but I was wondering what managers/executives/umpires(past or present) people think will eventually get in as well?
Manager-wise, I think Joe Torre and Bobby Cox are probably safe bets. I also think that Jim Leyland, Lou Piniella and Terry Francona have a decent chance.
As far as executives go, commissioners almost always get in, but owners and such I'm really not so sure about....Steinbrenner, maybe?
And when it comes to umpires, I wouldn't even know where to begin guessing.
Any thoughts and additions would be appreciated?
