Now I say you need to put more deserving talented players in(not some guy who is just a good clean conservative who played for Houston forever.)

There are atleast 7 years where this guy hit over .300,and 6 out of 7 years he had over 200 hits.BIGGIO ISN'T GUNNA EVER DO THAT,AND IT'S BECAUSE HE IS NOT AS GOOD.I actually have nothing against Biggio as a person,but I don't think he should go in if this guy ain't going in first.PERIOD.

Go right ahead and let your b.s. flow,but this guy is not as good a player as Garvey was.It's a pathetic popularity contest.He is gunna die with a ring.Biggio isn't ever gunna get one(and he had his chance,and didn't get it done.)So stick that where it don't shine.
Garvey again? What is the obsession with Garvey? Buckner was a better player and noone is calling for him to make the Hall.

The funny thing about your argument (?)/rant is that Biggio played one more year than Garvey yet has scored 700 more runs! hit 200 more doubles, 15 MORE HR's!!!, has 600 more walks, 300+ more stolen bases, has a 30 point advantage in OBP! Want more...Biggio is the alltime NL leader with leadoff HR's with 50, 2nd all time to Rickey, he is 25th on the alltime list of extrabase hits, is on his way to his 14th season with 30 or more doubles which is a alltime record...

Biggio is so much more deserving than Garvey it is a joke. He will be getting a plaque, Garvey will need to buy a ticket to get in
