First, there are too many folks already in the Hall who shouldn't have gotten in, so it is a diluted honor from what it was when I became interested in the game...

With that said, Joe Torre deserves to be enshrined. Now. To not enshrine a manager because he is managing or might return to managing is nonsense, to wait only creates a possibility of posthumous enshrinement. Don't wait.

Mr. Larussa is deserving. Other HOFers who were lawyers include Branch Rickey, Hughie Jennings, Happy Chandler, and John M. Ward.

I can live with Bobby Cox going in. Not excited about that, but it's tolerable.

Steinbrenner, a former convicted felon, has no business in the Hall. It is about all that he did. Shoeless Joe deserves to be right where he is, OUT. And I think Pete deserves to be in there any day he buys a ticket, as a licensee for the day, but not as an enshrined member. George should not be in. I think he'll be in one day because of New York pressure and bias. Lots of stuff that shouldn't happen happens, and Steinbrenner's induction will be one more of such.

Frank Navin would be a good addition. I doubt that he makes it in. Besides, they've dallied and now he's dead... In a well ordered world he'd have been inducted during his lifetime.

*And I edit to agree that Marvin Miller should be in the Hall. There are times that I think that what he set in motion has empowered players to the detriment of the game, but I recognize that he's made a significant impact upon the game, he may well have changed it to a greater extent than anyone other than Mr. Rickey and Jackie Robinson, and maybe half a dozen players.
