The names that don't belong in the top 100 greatest of all time, but appear on the top 100 WAR list to me, are Chipper Jones #32, Bobby Grich #61, Buddy Bell #91, and Chase Utley #96. I still have no problem with those guys as HOF'ers. I like how the NBA does it. Let 'em all in...Maris, Mattingly, Colovito, Murphy, Parker, etc...
I hope Dahlen makes it. I will be stocking up on his cards, not to sell, just for fun...Rob

And if you narrow the career WAR list to just shortstops, Dahlen is seventh all time. There are five HOFers and Arod ahead of him and eighteen HOF shortstops with lesser WAR stats.
