You might see a couple of guys sneak in this year. You have to figure that most of the people that have the ballots are baseball purists. They can not be happy what is going on in the game right now. So if they put in a few guys (especially fan favories) like Dawson, Murphy, Mattingly, Smith and Morris. Then maybe the sport will get a few days of positive exposure, instead of the daily accusations and denials that is going on now. Speaking as a Yankee fan, I know it would be absolutley huge if Donnie Baseball got in. It won't change the fact that the game will still be in chaos, but at least it would something positive for a sport that could use any kind of good feel good story.
