That's who I guessed would go in and they are the only ones I think deserved it out of this group, though you could make a strong case for Ted Simmons. I've just never heard support for him, so I didn't think he would get any.

I'm glad Steinbrenner didn't get in. I'm not even sure how he gets support with his two extended suspensions from the game. He was hated for most of his time and the team only really built up when he wasn't around serving his second suspension. It would be like Manny Ramirez getting a HOF push after all his suspensions. Ramirez isn't getting in, no chance, yet an owner that was suspended twice for lengthy times by baseball, is a legit candidate for some people? Kind of a crazy double-standard going on, never mind the fact that Steinbrenner was one of the owners turning a blind eye to steroid use, yet profiting off of it, then pretending like they had no idea. I wouldn't put in any owner from the 90's, don't care what his team did on the field.

Marvin Miller is another one I don't get the support for. How about drumming up support for some long-time scouts, coaches, deserving players not in already, not some guy that helped make a family trip to the ballpark, something you need to take out a loan to do. MLB went on strike/lockout five times during his time in charge, thanks for that. They don't need to go down that path because next thing you know, Scott Boras will be on the ballot. Stick to the guys on the field and the ones employed by the teams that are doing work in the trenches. Not some suit and tie making the players rich and fans poor.
