Whether it's 2013 or 2025, I'm happy to add these two to my collection. A couple of great-looking 4's in my opinion.

They don't want the game to go into extra innings due to injury risk and not wanting to have to "hold players back" just in case. Nobody wants a tie. So, this is as good a way as any, I guess. I'm...

Yeah, 2002 has a few guys (including one already elected), but then the middle of the decade gets to be some slim pickings for sure!

I recently wrote an article on the Hall of Fame and potential Hall of Fame rookie cards in 2000 and 2001 product. What do you think of the list? Who makes it and who doesn't? Did I miss anyone?

Perhaps. I don't think ignoring the PED guys is the right answer. I mean, how long can a hall of fame without the all-time HR leader (single season and career), a top-5 all time pitcher, and other...

You'd THINK the Hall of Fame would be in favor of more inductees, but everything they do seems to be working towards the opposite. I can't comment on whether that is by design or incompetence.

I like the whole "don't get 5 votes, can't get on the next ballot" part a lot. Should keep some of the same guys appearing every 3 year cycle.

And they'll likely still bring Kershaw back, I'd imagine. I'd guess a 6-man rotation to get everyone turns (assuming they are healthy) as that's what they pitch in Japan.

Yes, Cole and Sale are probably the two most likely. Maybe deGrom has a late-career string of health, but that feels unlikely. Beyond that is anyone's guess.
