Well of course... being a Braves fan especially I will never forget the infamous Glavine & Maddux commercial, "Chicks Dig the Long Ball." Reggie Jackson is in the Hall because... wait, where's our friend Dragon?... he was a... ding ding ding... Yankee!
With the exception of O'Neil, I'd say all of those are in the borderline category and most likely will never make it. Unfortunately Murph just deteroiated in his last few years. He looked like he was batting with a broom, because he would swing and miss at any pitch low and away and everyone in the NL figured that out pretty quickly.
I wouldn't vote for McGwire. All he did was hit home runs. He had what, a .260 lifetime average? And he was a below average fielder. Even if 'roids had never come into the picture, I don't think he's HoF material. Bonds, however, is a no-brainer.With the exception of O'Neil, I'd say all of those are in the borderline category and most likely will never make it.

The more I think about it, the more I think there shouldn't be such a thing as a "borderline" Hall of Famer. If there's any doubt to his belonging in the Hall, then leave him out. Keep it the elite of the elite.
I've got nothing new. Just taking up space, as usual.
But notice how we travel in tandem? How Cubsgirl comes back and says, "Where's Jason and Janet?" See, you just can't get rid of me-- like a bad rash.
Start the season on the Friday before the Monday it starts now (so you get more revenue for that opening series as a weekend series), cut some days off here and there, have a couple of scheduled doubleheaders, and go back to 154 games rather than 162. Before you know it you'd trim two weeks off the schedule and the World Series would conclude by mid-October, as it should.Start the season on the Friday before the Monday it starts now (so you get more revenue for that opening series as a weekend series), cut some days off here and there, have a couple of scheduled doubleheaders, and go back to 154 games rather than 162....(more)
Amen to elguapo and BigTone. As a native Georgian, I appreciate that someone is speaking out for those of us intelligent and decent human beings born in that region of the nation. And yes, if you must have free speech than you must allow those that few want to hear. The protections of the First Amendment aren't in place for those who are saying things which don't offend anyone.Amen to elguapo and BigTone.
