April 25, 201214 yr Author 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.If the internet existed during Cobb's days I think he'd be right there with them or even possibly above them. You wanna take him out?
April 25, 201214 yr Author 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.:sssh:
April 25, 201214 yr Author How is no one including Biggio?Exactly. Especially guys who said 3000 hits gets you in. P.S. I REALLY hope Biggio and Bagwell go in together.
April 25, 201214 yr If the internet existed during Cobb's days I think he'd be right there with them or even possibly above them. You wanna take him out? Nope. I never said they won't get in, or people should be taken out. But if I have a vote, I'm not voting for them. The beauty of the HOF voting in baseball is it's completely opinion-driven and you don't have to justify your vote to anyone.

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 Anyone that seriously considers Reggie Sanders for the HOF automatically loses their voting privileges.
April 25, 201214 yr You can put up to 10 people on your ballot. They all MUST BE ELIGIBLE (no votes for Pete): Returning candidates: Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell, Lee Smith, Tim Raines, Alan Trammell, Edgar Martinez, Fred McGriff, Larry Walker, Mark McGwire, Don Mattingly, Dale Murphy (final time on ballot), Rafael Palmeiro, Bernie Williams Potential new candidates: Craig Biggio, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mike Piazza, Curt Schilling, Sammy Sosa, Kenny Lofton, David Wells, Julio Franco, Shawn Green, Steve Finley, Roberto Hernández, Jeff Cirillo, José Valentín, Reggie Sanders, Jeff Conine, José Mesa, Royce Clayton, Bob Wickman, Ryan Klesko, Aaron Sele, Woody Williams, Rondell White, Mike Lieberthal, Tony Batista, Mike Stanton, Sandy Alomar, Jr., Damian Miller, and Todd Walker. Biggio Piazza Schilling Wells Conine My heart wants Mattingly in the hall....but I'm just not sure I could vote for him.

April 25, 201214 yr Exactly. Especially guys who said 3000 hits gets you in. P.S. I REALLY hope Biggio and Bagwell go in together. Could be that I'd completely forgotten that Biggio had 3,000 hits. :ohbrother: He falls into a strange group of guys with lifetime averages under .300 that I always forget are in the 3,000 hit club; I always forget Rickey Henderson and Lou Brock hit the milestone too whenever I'm running through lists with people. But yeah, I'd vote for Biggio as well. Like I said, first glance and didn't really notice Biggio's name. It doesn't help that I don't watch National League ball all that often and something about Houston's aesthetic makes them unwatchable to me. Completely forgettable as a franchise really...

April 25, 201214 yr McGwire in but no Palmeiro, Bonds, or Clemens? I struggle with McGwire and may need my memory refreshed. Did he do steroids or did he use some growth hormone? Clemens is also a tough one. Actually, the whole steroid thing is a tough one and I can have times where I would include those on roids.
April 25, 201214 yr Jeff Bagwell Dale Murphy Barry Bonds Craig Biggio Mike Piazza Curt Schilling Rafael Palmerio Your thoughts on including Schilling but not Jack Morris?
April 25, 201214 yr Exactly. Especially guys who said 3000 hits gets you in. P.S. I REALLY hope Biggio and Bagwell go in together. Me too.
