I agree with Joe Torre, that's who I was thinking as well. I think he'll eventually get in especially as since his current job allows him to have contact with those in power.

I think the HOF should take on a historic view of the game and create a section of the HOF dedicated to the pioneers of the game. Ross Barnes (and others) should be recognized for their contributions to the game.
As far as Joe Torre is concerned I think he should make it based on both his playing career and managerial career. Some might argue that he should make it as a manager alone but please consider this - even Lenny Dykstra couldn't have screwed up managing those teams that were given to Torre.

He's not a veteran, but IMHO i think Fred Mcgriff should be inducted. He was a classy and consistent guy. He could have hit the 7 more homers he needed to get to 500 but alas i think he was too humble to drag his career out.

Mcgriff should be in the hall for sure...a class guy who had a wonderfully consistent career! Easily a qualified and deserving member of the hallowed hall>

I would have liked to see Ted Simmons get in, or at least some more recognition. His stats at his position rival some of the all time greats.
EDITED TO ADD: Just saw David's post above. I am glad there is at least one other person that feels Simmons deserves more credit.
