Anyways. I agree, given all that has gone on under his watch, I'd say NO! BUT He will get inducted. Somehow he will manage to avoid the steroid links, and people will probably focus more on the good things he has done for the game.. Those I can't deny. My personal feeling is that he's a clueless douche. The steroid thing is a nightmare, OR it was necessary in bringing the game back to prominence, however you wanna view it. Either way the game could've been saved without them. I LOVE the wild-card, but absolutely DESPISE this new 2nd wild-card crap. I like the thought of replay, but I have a bad feeling that it will soon get WAY out of hand..

Selig is like the "Larry the Cable Guy" of commissioners. Most of what he's done, has had great merit at it's core, but he tends to go way over the top, over do things, and then runs it into the ground.. He's "Git 'r Done'd" everything to death. He just can't accept that once something works, you should just leave it be..

Selig in the baseball HOF would be the ultimate buffoonery

To me Selig is just as tied to PEDs as Bonds and the rest of the group. I would never vote for him.

No, and Bowie Kuhn shouldn't be in either.

Marvin Miller, on the other hand, should be in.

Yep, right along with Adolph Hitler and Stalin! Miller's the guy who exposed the players for the mercenaries they were waiting desperately to become, the one who let us know almost all of them would grind any notion of team loyalty into the dust in return for the time and money the organization had invested in them, and go play elsewhere for an additional buck and a quarter! He's also most likely the guy who advised the players to cover their greedy butts with the statement that "I have to do what's best for my family." As if those 17 generations of little Pujols to come couldn't have been quite well taken care of through accepting the Cardinals' offer of $215 million, or so. Left to their own devices, almost all the players will always make the wrong decision, because they base it only on ME, ME, ME! Just my two cents worth, of course.

Bud had some difficult choices to make during his reign, and I think handled them quite well under the circumstances (I do think that Bonds, Clemons, McGwire, Sosa and others similarly situated will eventually get in the Hall, because they were simply the best of their era--and who's to say that Ruth, Gehrig and Foxx and company didn't actually have it easier insofar as hitting was concerned, with the pitchers' best weapons suddenly taken away from them--the scuffed, spit upon, dark and dirty, pounded to a pulp balls; virtually no relief specialists and the starter being expected to go a full nine; no sliders, for the most part, no split finger fastballs, no circle changes that break like a screwball but without the elbow strain, and no night games or jet lag. Take a look at what guys like Hornsby and Sisler did in the dead-ball era, compared to post-1919 play). Hmmm...sounds like an interesting topic for a separate thread!

Please pardon my ranting guys. Wish all of you the best,

Larry
