Santo by the way, lands squarely in the middle when ranking HOF third basemen.
The idea that Ripken doesn't belong in the Hall is just plain silly, but then again people who can't spell Ripken probably shouldn't be offering opinions on Cal.

Greg, I have never understood why opinions on who belongs in the HOF generate these types of comments. Everyone has a right to an opinion. Obviously the HOF voters disagreed with you for many years, so saying that anyone who's against Santo is wrong, is in my opinion, wrong.
