maybe segui gets a vote and voted for himself? moondog Send a noteboard - 10/01/2010 06:12:41 PM
andre dawson definitely deserves the hall vote, imho. i'm having trouble understanding why larkin, murphy, trammell, mcgriff and mattingly are voted so low on the list. alomar is probably being punished for the spitting incident, i wouldn't doubt he'll get there on the next couple ballots.

unfortunately, that's the way baseball is for the most part, especially where the HoF is concerned. petty, vindictive, whiny people vote *against* players because of their perception of those players' careers, not on whether or not their overall career is deserving of such praise. when they've decided that they've punished that player on enough successive ballots, they finally vote that player in...

Alan Trammel has no business in the HoF. That is from a Tigers fan in Detroit. *NM* - 10/01/2010 04:08:11 AM 179 Views
