He should be in the Hall of Fame. However, he won't be eligible until 2009 or 2010. He should also have his #11 retired by the Reds.

Larkin last played in 2004, so he isn't eligible until the 2010 ballot (five years, plus the incidental turn of the calendar).
I'd vote for him.
Retiring numbers is up to the team organization, unless MLB mandates it league-wide (done only once, and probably never again).

I'd like to think so, but there is a chance he won't make it. The rules of thumb the writers used to have have become the rule. A shortstop with out numbers like Willie Mays is often overlooked. Alan Trammel, Lou Whitaker, Ron Santo. . .the list is long. To hell with the writers. Larkin should go in. We'll see.

He's got a pretty good shot at making it because he started playing long before most of the other offensive elite at the shortstop position. I don't think he'll be first ballot by any means, but give him a few years and I think he'll be in there.

I think he will. He was right there with Ripken and Ozzie. I think he will be eligible to be voted in around 2010.
