Default So, who do you think the NL committee will elect?

Posted By: Kenny Cole

I really don't know that much about how the Committee is going to proceed. I know that there are supposedly going to be two groups -- those who played before the organized Negro Leagues came into existence (Hill, Petway, Santop, etc.), and those from the organized leagues. I also know that a candidate must receive the standard 75% of the votes. What I don't know is whether this is a one-shot deal or whether the Committee is going to meet on some periodic basis, like the Veteran's Committee, to make their picks.

Currently, I'd guess that Suttles, Mackey, Torriente and Pete Hill have the best shot in their respective categories. I've always been a Lundy fan, so I hope he receives serious consideration. Raymond Brown is probably going to be looked at pretty hard too. Since I have cards of all of the above except Suttles and Hill, I'm pulling for all of them to get admitted. That's about the only way I will ever be able to get even or pull ahead of Paul in the HOF collection derby
