His walk up song is Kashmir, I say he is a HOF player but not a 1st ballot. 2B is a shit position and he should be recognized.
Soriano, Kent, Boone (roids?) are the similar players stat-wise.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
Ryno wasn't either (got in on his 3rd year) but yes he is WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY better than Utley ever hoped he could've been. The only 2B there are even arguments for best all-time other than Sandberg are Hornsby, Morgan, Alomar, & Kent. Utley doesn't touch ANY of those guys.Degeneratefk said:

Are you serious? Thought he was a first ballot guy. Sports writers are such idiots.HesCalledDyer said:

Speaking of HOF.
What percent will Ichiro get his 1st time around on the ballot?
ichiro should get 100% of the vote..period
But there will be knuckleheads who leave him off.

Yep, still pisses me off that Alomar got in 2nd year with 85% and it took Ryno 3 years. And Ryno barely made it still, getting 76.1% of votes (75% needed). Sports writers are, indeed, idiots. The fact that Bonds is now in his 5th year of eligibility and hasn't even come close to getting in shows how fucking stupid they are.
One thing cannot be disputed - Ryno gave one of the absolute best induction speeches ever!

I'm still wondering who the 3 idiots were who didn't vote for The Kid. They should never be allowed to write ever again.SPEEDY MCCREADY said:Speaking of HOF.

Ryne sandberg is by far my favorite cub. How could you not vote for him as a HoFer?

Sportswriters think they control the game with that fucking vote. I think anyone that didn't vote for sandberg should lose their vote for 5 years. The dick bags that didn't vote for Griffey Jr should lose their vote for 5 years. The jackasses that don't vote for Ichiro should lose their vote for 5 years.
The steroid era players like bonds, clemens, bagwell, McGuire, palmerio, etc are a tough call for me. Obviously they are hall of famers. But I can't fault a guy for not voting for them based on drug use. But if that's your argument, how can you induct the amphetamine users of the 60s, 70s, and 80s?will myself to find a home, a home within myself

Not Boskie. And his first name was Shawn.
Hint: It was 19-2 loss to the Dodgers. Bullpen was used up.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250
