Your HOF Ballot, Ripken, Gwynn and Big Mac on it?

Journeyman · Nov 27, 2006

Who would you send this year?

Ripken :suomi:

Gwynn

McGwire :bigfinger

I will be voting for two of the three :thumbsup:

Fishhead · Nov 27, 2006

RIPKEN and GWYNN ........no way BIG MAC.

Maybe I will vote for BIG MAC when he reaches the VETERANS COMMITTEE, but not before DEWEY.

It's tough because Mac gave us such a memorable summer. But you know he cheated.

Ripken and Gwynn this year no doubt, Big Mac at a later date when there is a weak class (maybe).

Ripken/Gwynn/Jack Morris/Gossage

fucnluc · Nov 27, 2006

Gwynn, Ripkin, and unfortunatly McGwire will make it.

I'd like to see some more consideration on Jim Rice.

Edit: Also, Blyleven.

-His 15 1-0 wins are 3rd all time behind Walter Johnson and Christy Mathewson.
-9th alltime in shutouts.
-Every pitcher with 3000+ K's are in the hall but Blyleven.
-5-1 post-season record with 2.47 post-season ERA.

Kojak · Nov 27, 2006

Ripkin,Gwynn,McGwire(he won't be voted in first ballot but I would as there is no proof regardless of congress disgrace), Morris, Dawson, and Lee Smith

Journeyman · Nov 27, 2006

It really is amazing just how close Harold Baines came to some automatic milestones that would have gotten him elected, look at Baines numbers and you will be surprised...when Baines broke in he was a very good right fielder who could run, imagine that!

fucnluc · Nov 27, 2006

Also just saw that 30% of his 250 losses were by 1 run. And 115 of his 250 were by 2 runs or less. If he had some offensive support he would have easily hit 300 wins making him a shoe in.

Journeyman · Nov 27, 2006

How is 'Wild' Bobby Witt on the ballot?

142-157 4.83 ERA

hno:

The problem I have with Blyleven are his poor seasons, I feel like he had too many years where he lost a ton of game, I realize he was a very good pitcher, who pitched on a lot of bad teams, those poor seasons though are hard to overlook.

Wasn't he ridiculous in post season? Could be thinking of somebody else..

Did he ever make post season? :WTF:

7 post season innings 9 runs.

Journeyman · Nov 27, 2006

Blyleven lost 17 games 4 times and 16 games twice, I think that really hurts him...10 .500 or less seasons.

fucnluc · Nov 27, 2006

Yeah thinking of somebody else.

Wrigley · Nov 27, 2006

Last year results below takes 390 votes to get in I cant see Rice,Gossage,Dawson or Blyleven getting in this year
much tougher ballot this year and they were all 50 plus
votes from getting in last year.
