Don't be surprised if..... (HOF debate!)

When Bud Selig has a better chance of getting into the Hall of Fame than Minnie Minoso, it's hard for me to take it very seriously.

I like Bud, but could not agree with you more!

Put in Minnie and Luis while they are still with us!

What about Mussina? I always felt he was under-valued.

Vincent Edward Jackson. Bo Knows. Stats and longevity don't support, but he was exciting to watch. Better 2-sport star than Deion. And let's not forget, he bulldozed the "Boz".

Also, and I mentioned this in a previous post, Frank Jobe. The inventor of Tommy John surgery.

A healthy debate for sure.

My player picks are in no particular order:

Griffey, Bonds, Clemens, Johnson, Martinez, Raines, Piazza, Biggio, Bagwell, Mussina, Smoltz, Guerrero, Thome, Jones, Rivera, Hoffman, Vizquel with Jeter on deck

As far as non-players:

Bud Selig, Jim Leyland, Joe Angel

Perfect! A guy who understands steroids were part of the game - like it or not.

That said...."no" to Raines, Mussina, Smoltz and, in a perfect world, Selig. He made something like $22 million this year. That's plenty of recognition for the old coot.
