formerkywrestler Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 First impression. That is a STACKED ballot. And after 2013 it's going to start getting VERY clogged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKMustangFan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 One guy who I would actually give quite a long look at before casting my ballot is Reggie Sanders. Much better overall career than most ever realized. The 3 guys I was considering including but decided against....

UKMustangFan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Shouldn't you wait until he is convicted? Not when you factor in that he's easily my most hated athlete of all-time. He and Pete Rose are two guys I'd never cast a vote for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerkywrestler Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 First glance: Trammell Martinez Palmeiro Bonds Piazza Clemens What happened to this? I think so. 3,000, more than any other number in a sport driven by its numbers, suggests sustained excellence at the plate. Using perhaps 500 at-bats in a season as a base, a player would have to average 167 hits per season over an 18-year career, leading to a career average of .333. Just getting to play enough to get that many hits is at least suggestive of greatness. According to Baseball Reference, there have been about 17,700 players in major league history. 28 have reached 3,000 career hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 One thing I can tell you for sure...seeing this list makes me realize I'm getting older. Hard to believe a lot of these names are eligible already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
