Bert Blylevn blues will sing again. It's really a shame, if he was on a better team he probably would've won 350 games, well maybe not that many but for sure 300+ easy. Only 13 games shy of 300 on some bad teams and he gets punished like this year after year, what a disgrace !

Totally agree that Blyleven should be in already. Some of his stats are the same or better than some current HOFers. I think Alomar has a legitimate shot at getting in, I think he was probably the best 2B in the league for quite a few years when he was in the AL. I wonder if his spitting incident will put off some voters???

For the first timers, I think Alomar goes in for sure, though Im still not a huge fan of him being a "first time HOFer".

Nobody else on the first time ballott will go in IMO, tho Larkin and McGriff will get heavy consideration.

Id like to see Blyleven or Dawson get in, and I think Bert has a slightly better chance, but I dont feel either of them will, tho if either of them did, I wouldn't totally be shocked.

As an aside, I haven't been able to get to Cooperstown for a few years. My friend, who is a younger Rays fan and a huge McGriff fan has PROMISED me that if Fred Gets in, he will take me w him to the induction ceremony. So, come on everyone, GO FRED GO

what about the managers/executives vote?

Will Billy Martin finally get in?

Buckner

I think Blyleven gets in, barely
and I think Dawson will continue inching closer

I want to know how Whitey Herzog just got in but Billy Martin didn,t.CN

I wondered the same thing when Rice got in(not that he wasn't a great player or anything)
