The three idiots that left him off their ballots should be publicly humiliated.

 

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are denied again. The baseball writers are a joke.

Agree.

 

One of the few "naturals" of our time.

 

I don't mean PEDs, just someone who was a baseball player from head to toe.

 

One of the prettiest swings in the game.  Not the most powerful, but perhaps the most perfect.

Idiots are the ones not voting for Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Griffey, Jr. is just the latest deserving HoFer not getting there via unanimous vote.

 

There should be a special wing for the 'roid users. They are an anomaly, but part of the game's history.

And Rose, too.  IMO.

one of the greatest baseball players I have ever seen. 

 

Greatest, smoothest swing of all time. 

 

He has my vote.

I don't necessarily disagree, but it raises the question of what value to place on their numbers.  Bonds was certainly good enough to get there without the help, but what of the players whose stats are borderline HOF?

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

I would like to add Frank Thomas to the list of naturals

Go Jags!
*To stay up for atleast 2 years 3/6/17
2016 draft players I think will be good
  • On the Fournette train, will be best back of his class 3/6/17
  • Lattimore please,  Lockdowns on both sides would be nice
  • Engram at TE and the MJD clone Samaje Perine
