April 25, 201214 yr Author First impression. That is a STACKED ballot. And after 2013 it's going to start getting VERY clogged up.
April 25, 201214 yr Author Who I would vote to go in: Jack Morris Mark McGwire Jeff Bagwell Mike Piazza McGwire in but no Palmeiro, Bonds, or Clemens?
April 25, 201214 yr Author I'm still thinking about this. But I know one thing. I will NOT let Jeff Conine receive zero votes! :lol: :lol:
April 25, 201214 yr Jeff Bagwell Dale Murphy Barry Bonds Craig Biggio Mike Piazza Curt Schilling Rafael Palmerio
April 25, 201214 yr 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.... Sanders Bernie Williams Tim Raines
April 25, 201214 yr Author Jeff Bagwell Dale Murphy Barry Bonds Craig Biggio Mike Piazza Curt Schilling Rafael Palmerio Schilling over Clemens?
April 25, 201214 yr Schilling over Clemens? I have a hard time voting for a guy that is most likely going to be in prison during the inductions...:idunno:
April 25, 201214 yr Author I have a hard time voting for a guy that is most likely going to be in prison during the inductions...:idunno:Shouldn't you wait until he is convicted?
April 25, 201214 yr 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.
April 25, 201214 yr Author 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.
April 25, 201214 yr 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.
April 25, 201214 yr Author Who I would vote to go in: Jack Morris Mark McGwire Jeff Bagwell Mike Piazza What happened to this? I think it is. It is moreso than the 400 HR mark.
