First things first Mike, Happy New Year to you and your family. Great article. I agree on your four picks for the HOF. But, I would add Billie Wagner. He had a good career. So I would vote for your four plus Billie Wagner. Thanks Mike. John Madeja
Thanks John and Happy New Year to you and yours as well. Wagner is one of those on the bubble for me, but I'm glad you chose him. Relivers need representation in the Hall. Please consider sharing this blog / link with your teammates! See you soon.
Suzuki is a no brainer, should be unanimous. Sabathia in my opinion was always just a good #2 or #3 guy. His best years were short and on stacked Yankee teams, never considered him an ace, just a guy who ate up innings. Just my opinion. If Utley gets in at ANY point before Lou Whitaker, I’ll throw a fit….😁✌️
Thanks Craig. Yes, Ichiro should be unanimous but there always seems to be one of two writers that decide not to go first ballot. I'll never understand why.
CC was a workhorse and has numbers.
I cannot fathom how Lou Whitaker is not in yet. He and Trammel were automatic in that Detroit infield. Not sold on Utley as belonging. As I said, a great 5-year run, but it doesn't seem like enough. When I say, "coin flip", it's always a non-vote. Hall of Famers should jump out at you. Lou does, Chase doesn't.
Feel free to share the link with guys from your team. Our "spring training" starts soon.
It's true that the Hall should be for elite players! I agree it should be hard to get in! Too bad not everyone thinks that way and some will be voted in undeservedly! It will be interesting to see the results!

Spring Training starts this week! Getting ready to play in a MSBL tournament in Panama City FL in mid February 😎
Nice. Best of luck in the tourney.
Nice article Mike!
