As long as Ripken and Gwynn get in I'm happy.
I would love to see Mattingly get in someday as a player coach.
The long over due Lee Smith.
You can scratch Mark McGwire.

First timer locks are Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken, Jr. The numbers speak for themselves in both cases.
Two others on the ballot that should make it but probably won't. Bert Blyleven with 287 career wins and a career ERA of 3.01. The other is Goose Gossage. If Bruce Sutter can make it with 300 career saves, Goose with 310 should be in there. However, Lee Smith never made it and he has 478 career saves.
The first timer that won't make it and will be the most controversial will be Mark McGwire.

usually I say that if a ordinary participant wasn't elected in his fifteen years of eligibility, he might desire to acquire not greater attention. From this record I make no exception. They have been all nice gamers with many remarkable achievements, yet that they had their probability. the Veteran's Committee became set as much as undo lots of the apparent omissions like the pre-1920 or so gamers that have been exceeded over, or the Negr0 league gamers. perhaps an umpire or govt until now they have been incredibly seen. Ron Santo? Gil Hodges? conceal the two bases and % Ron Hodges.

Ripken obviously. Do you know anyone who goes to work everyday like he did? At a job that is so easy to get hurt in?? I think the man had an amazing career. He was a great ballplayer , and he was a great man. I remember watching the game where he broke the record. That standing O lasted like 20 minutes and he walked around the field shaking hands with people in the frong row. It was a really cool moment.

Gwynn and Ripken ought to be unanimous decisions; their work ethic and longevity during their playing days certainly speak for themselves. Lee Smith is long overdue; he held the all-time saves record for 13 years before Trevor Hoffman surpassed him in 2006. Goose Gossage is overdue as well, but 2007 looks to be the year he gets in; his support has grown each year since he's been eligible.

Ripken and Gwynn. Possibly Goose Gossage.

Cal and Gwynn for sure. Gossage ahead of Lee Smith. Gossage was a king and Lee was just a wanderer.
I like Jim Rice but his stats are very similar to Harold Baines which shocked me.
Jim Rice
16 Years 2,452hits 382HRS 1,451 rbis .298 batting avg
Harold Baines
22 years 2,866 hits 384HRS 1,628 rbis .289 batting avg
Harold was a good player but if Rice is in Harold should be in too but Harold shouldn't be in therefore Rice should not be in.

Gwynn, Ripken, McGwire, Bryleven, and Dawson. All either have great numbers or did so much for the game. Dawson was such a great player for so many bad teams. I can't believe that he isn't in the Hall but Ryne Sandberg is. Oh yea, im not rooting for my hometeam, im a Cards fan.

I think the most deserving is Cal Ripken for obvious reasons, the game streak, the batting average, and he has always been such a nice guy. If only one could make it, I'd take him.
