If they haven't put Joe Wood in yet, I really don't see it happening. I understand their reasoning, but I also like to argue his performance at the plate after he switched positions. It's too bad he couldn't have had a few more seasons at each position to seal the deal on how great he was. I'd be all for his induction, far more so than the two fellows already mentioned.
To me, TGOTT managed to get the wrong two players inducted! Nothing against Hooper or Marquard, but if forced to pick only two from a list of these four, I'd have cast my ballot for Wood and O'Doul. Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 06-08-2021 at 09:09 AM.

Couple pick ups from this month. I'm happy I've been patient with the Bo Jackson rookie because they've finally come back to Earth after being so overpriced for so long.
Also very happy to pick up the Koufax. Thought I got a great deal on it:

Everything related to Bo should come down, including his signing price and his ego. We're all aware of the 30 year old hype, but let's face it--neither career lived up to potential.
To me, his closest contemporary was Eric Lindros, who was supposed to be the next Gretzky. He did manage to score over 500 goals in his career. More importantly, he made it into the HOF, something Bo never came close to doing in either sport. Lindros mellowed as he matured and has done some commendable philanthropic and charity work in more recent days. Nice to see him in this light.

I've always liked Bo for his mystique and I think that he WAS everything he was supposed to be, just not for as long as hoped. That's one thing I think that sets him apart from others like him. He did reach his potential (though it was fleeting) whereas others fail to live up theirs.
