Dave (toppcat),

The writers and broadcasters are indeed, given a separate wing and are NOT, in fact considered INDUCTEES of the HOF. They are actually considered HONOREES. Fellow broadcasters often call their peers Hall-of-famers, but that's technically not correct. However, players, managers, umpires, executives and pioneers ARE inductees, and thus true members of the hall. I agree Rhett, I wish that only players and managers were given that distinction. The umps and execs should be honored like the writers and broadcasters but not on equal footing as the players. BUT.... I collect ALL the inductees, so now I'm off to find a Pat Gillick card!
