Hall of Fame

Who gets in, other than Griffey?

 

[RickD]

Griffey may be the only definite.

 

[Big Papi]

If Griffey and Piazza get in they will be the highest and lowest draft picks in history to enter the Hall of Fame. 1st overalls aren't everything folks.

Congratulations to the 2 guys that were elected. Good news for Bagwell, Hoffman, Raines and Schilling. They are pretty close to the magic number.
Who in the world were the 3 writers that didn't vote for Griffey? They really should have their membership in the BBWA revoked.

Yeah the non-Griffey voters should be booted!
