Cooperstown time
Not that it matters, but here is who I would put in the Baseball Hall of Fame, if I was allowed to vote on such things:
Bert Blyleven
Andre Dawson
Goose Gossage
Jack Morris
Lee Smith
And, as a sentimental favorite, I'd have to cast a vote for the great Hal Morris.

You have a sentimental streak for singles-hitting, non-RBI-guy first basemen? I'd vote Morris long before Blyleven (who won a lot of games but, unless I'm totally blanking, none of them important ones). And you can't vote for Smith and Gossage without voting for Bruce Sutter first. The man changed the game forever with his split-fingered fastball, and was unhittable for years.

Those picks are fine by me, as long as you don't choose Pete Rose to enter the Hall. Yes, he was a great ballplayer but he violated a MAJOR rule of the MLB. Then, he lied about it for 15 years!Fuck that piece of shit!

You forgot ME! Remember at KY Derby ODW when I knocked the ball into another RV and ran all bases!?
