MLB Hall of Fame balloting
The big story coming out of the Baseball Hall of Fame nominees coming out is that Pete Rose is no longer eligible for the Hall of Fame (at least not eligible to be voted in). But who cares, let's talk about the people I think should get in. It's all about me, after all.
Tommy John - If they name a surgery or disease after you, you're in.
Don Mattingly - Donny Baseball gets my homer vote.
Rich Gossage - Dominant reliever before most people knew there was such a thing. Also a homer vote.
Lee Smith - currently still the record holder for all-time saves. How is he not in already???
Jack Morris - Basically never has a season with less than 14 wins while pitching for the Tigers. The Tigers! Then was MVP of the 1991 World Series after pitching 10 innings of shutout baseball against the Braves in Game 7.
Dale Murphy - Underrated because he played for the Braves when they stunk, because he was such a clean-cut guy, and because steroids have inflated stats since he retired. None good enough for me to withhold a vote.
Just missing the cut for various reasons: Orel Hershiser, Andre Dawson, Alan Trammell.
