Really...he should be pissed! To my recollection, he was a fierce competitor
and was always ready to pitch. 60 shutouts.......the pitchers today are lucky
to make 6 innings(a quality start...WTF?)

Before looking into next years class, I see Dawson getting in by the numbers. Blyleven will get in probably in 3 years (his final year elgible)

I recall the Goose did some beotching in the press. Then Sutter got in....did some more beotching.....then finally got the call.

Somehow, I'm having this feeling watching this crap for so many years that McGwire will gain some steam and pass Lee Smith (think 6th year on the ballet currently) on his way of getting close.

Jim Rice probably now holds the dubious distinction of being the least worthy modern-day player to receive enshrinement in the Baseball HOF. I'd say he's competing with Catfish Hunter and perhaps Orlando Cepeda for that honor.

Tim Raines at 22 percent and Alan Trammell at a paltry 17.4 percent are jokes. The fact that Nolan Ryan was a slam dunk first ballot HOFer and Bert Blyleven continues to toil in the voting process is also a travesty.

Well at least they did get Henderson right.
(should have been on all ballots)

I also dont get the Blyleven problem.
He must be a huge, mean sausage.
