You can debate all you want whether Glavine's 300+ wins and multiple Cy Young Awards mean much (seems foolish to me to argue against him, but to each his own), but this statement about people being fired simply isn't true. And it wasn't during the playoffs. It was in the middle of the season. But no one was fired and it was pretty blown out of proportion.
Anyway, my guess of who we'll see inducted in July (not saying these are my personal choices, but who I think the voters will choose):
Cox
La Russa
Maddux
Glavine
Thomas
Very close (maybe 65+ pct of the vote):
Piazza
Biggio
Morris
Also, guessing Torre and Steinbrenner get close in the December vote, but might have to wait three more years.
