If based solely on the way he played the game, obviously I have to go with Pete.. |

Wish Glasscock and O'Day would be inducted. I have two Glasscock autographs and the only O'Day signed ball I've ever seen. My reasons are selfish and entirely financially-driven. |

Pete Rose is the obvious choice and then Lefty O'Doul, although neither one is presently eligible. |

This thread sounds far too similar to one we participated in a few months ago. Again, I'll agree with Phil that O'Doul really needs to be enshrined. It's a crime that the gates are presently locked to a man who did so much good for his sport. |

Although I am partial to Tony O. and Blyleven, if I had just one vote it would be for Curt Flood. An All-Star centerfielder who at age 32 sacrificed everything for principle. He only had 35 bats for the rest of his career although he had HOF numbers before his decision. |

Herman vs. O'Doul is not a fair argument. Perhaps from a statistical standpoint, but Lefty should be in for more than one reason. Herman's poor defensive skills are legendary. |

I like Jack Morris. Is there one player on the list that did more for his team than Jack? Pete Rose but not on ballot yet! I have always looked at hall of fame as pick player as your first choice and then build a team around him. Any way the stats are all there for Jack and just check out his postseason. In fact he was the winning pitcher in the best world series game ever played in the best world series ever played! |

whats the other reason o'doul should be in besides almost batting 400? sure he pitched, but he wasn't a good pitcher. herman was just as good a hitter over the same short period of time as o'doul was. |

I love idea #4. I like half of idea #3 (O'Neil and O'Doul--and you could twist my arm to agree with inducting the Dutchman). Could care less about #1. Baseball died fifty years ago. And I hate the usage of the word "generous" in #2! "Respectable" would be my choice of verbiage in that instance. |

I just hope that someone in the world sticks to the rules once. Once they make the acception for Pete then why note McGuire, why not Clemmens, and anyone else that ever cheated or gambled on the game. |

I'd create a hall of shame where all the despicable, cheating, juicing, etc. players would be "enshrined" as a lesson for future players and kids. Some automatic induction criteria and some proposed names for the museum areas holding them: |

People love Dummy Hoy because he was deaf, but they ridicule Browning for his poor fielding (which was not that bad and was not even below average) for the same reason. He suffered from a disability which left him deaf. He could not hear the crack of the bat and was left to only his sight for judging the ball. He should be cut a little slack on that end given his physical limitations. |

Don Newcombe told me a great story about Minoso. While they were all in spring training in Fl the black players had to eat at segregated restaurants while off their teams' facilities. There wasn't a lot of choice so they usually ended up at the same place. Minoso liked the chicken there and the others would take turns distracting him and taking pieces off his plate. Finally, one day Minoso got his plate, spit on each piece and said in a mixture of Spanish and English, in essence, let's see you SOBs take my chicken now! |
