Congratulations to Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice for getting inducted in to the Hall of Fame.
Looking at the ballot next year, I would like to see Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin, and Fred McGriff all make the Hall of Fame. Andre Dawson just missed this year with 67% of the vote. I think he will make it eventually, probably in the last season he is eligible just like Jim Rice. Can't wait to hear Rickey Henderson's induction speech, should be a classic.
I was with you until you said Fred McGriff. I mean, Crime Dog used to play for ATL and he was my dude, but he ain't a Hall of Famer. Sorry.

It's debatable at least:
ReplyDelete493 HR(26th all-time)
1,550 RBI(40th all-time)
1,305 walks(36th all-time)
4,458 Total Bases(45th all-time)
.886 On Base + Slugging(81st all-time)
He was the big bat on those Braves teams of the mid-90's and has way better numbers than another Hall of Fame 1B Tony Perez.
If fans were able to elect players, Rice would have been a part of the Hall of Fame a long time ago. He has had some of the best picture perfect moments in baseball, many worth noting as he is inducted.
ReplyDeleteTommy John should have gotten in:
