"...it doesn't look like a lot of HOFers to me aside from Boggs. If it were up to me, I'd take the opportunity to let Rice in."

This is a pet peeve of mine. A player either belongs, or he doesn't. Just because there is a weak group coming eligable doesn't mean you start scanning the holdovers to see who you should vote for.

Rice was the Bonds of his day and no one wanted to see him at the plate. I think he belongs, but it's sad when it takes a weak class to get deserving players in.

Boggs is the only player in the next 2 years I would vote for. Although you could argue Gooden. Reverse his career numbers and you get Koufax.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
