There's a guy coming up in a couple of years that would have my vote:

Tim Raines.

Absolutely awesome player when he played in Montreal.  The guy had power, hit for average, played great defense, stole about a million bases, and had a gun for an arm in his early days.

He hit a screaming line drive one night when I was out in the left field seats at the Vet that nearly killed my ass.   :-D

I still have the ball that I got him to autograph the next day.  He wasn't going to sign it until I told him he almost killed me with it the day before.  He laughed and said, "sure kid, no problem."

Still one of my favorites...   :yay

I wrote that 11 years ago.  Holy shtein.

Still have the ball too.

now that selig and bagwell are in i hope everyone gets off their roid high horses and puts in bonds and clemens
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Um, if Bonds gets in then so should Pete Rose.  Neither will happen.

Also - farg Curt Schilling and his 45%.  I hope that punk bitch never gets in and he spends the rest of his miserable life complaining about how he's a victim of liberals.

its 2 separate issues

bonds is on the ballot and its the voters call. rose isnt on any ballot and i believe mlb has to reinstate him in order for a decision to be made about how to handle his candidacy.

he should 100% go, along with shoeless joe and buck weaver, but shouldnt get his day in the sun. hes broke an unbreakable rule. but put his plaque in. hes a massive piece of baseball history and its a baseball history museum.

It's laughable that roid heads can't get in, but Selig aka The Enabler can.

Ventura was the starting pitcher in Marte's last game.  Coincidence?  I think not...
