2011 HOF Ballot

[Ladder7]

Spitting at Hirschbeck after being called Out at third. Should keep Alomar locked out for life. IMO

[chaddurbin]

uhh the people that didn't vote for anybody probably can't even spell hall of fame

[buymycards]

None of the above.

Actually it was a called 3rd Strike.

Bert should be money. His was a tough man on the mound, but was not saddled up on very strong teams. His K's are pretty nice over the span of a career.
Hope all is well,

None. I would vote for Robby Alomar eventually but he doesn't quite seem first-or-second ballot worthy. Blyleven to me is a very good pitcher who just, but definitely, falls short. Tommy John, Jim Kaat, Luis Tiant, etc.

I am going to vote for the only guy on the list who has a MLB Award named after him...Edgar Martinez.

No McGwire???

Ooohhh, then let him in!

Edgar Martinez was the best hitter I have ever seen in my life. The fact that he played DH really should not matter because had he played 50 years ago he would have just stayed at third where he started and been an average fielder and then we would not even be having this talk.

Agreed (or if not THE best pure hitter I've ever seen, very close to the top of the list).
Also hits the nail on the head when it comes to the DH argument.

When was the last year that NO ONE was elected to the Baseball Hall of fame??

Soooooo, how is it that putting Bagwell and Martinez in the Hall would be watering it down? Sorry, but DH has been an official position in the American League for over 30 years now. Are we going to keep all pitchers out because they can't hit well? As for Bagwell, does anyone have proof he did steroids? I haven't seen any. As far as I can tell, he was pretty consistent...and I'll tell you what, I believe with PID's he could have hit 60-70 homeruns easy.
