Just missed the cut
Ivan Rodriguez - can go next year. Raines goes in first, and it's his last year
Lee Smith - compiler. longevity is a solid thing to have in baseball, but not always a HoF skill
Fred McGriff - might make it some day, but still doesn't quite "feel" like a hall of fame player to me
Seeing as I don't have to actually turn in a ballot, I choose 16. You can try to convince me one way or another on which 6 I should ditch.

What, no Pete Rose? :wow:
Um, it's the baseball hall of fame, that means none will make it.
None of the steroids guys, at least. :bd:
Couple of great catchers on the ballot. Tim Raines better make it or I've lost all faith in the voters.

I'm glad Bagel made it.
I wish he could've gone in with Biggio, but at least he's in.
I enjoyed watching Ivan Rodriguez play for the Nats. O0

When he was playing for the Nats, I was in DC for a handful of meetings in Crystal City. We met one of the ladies there over at IHOP just south of the Taylor Building on the road to Alexandria. We're having some coffee and chatting and I-Rod walks in with his parents (at least, I guess it was his parents the way he was treating them) and sits down has a breakfast, just chilling and hanging out on a day off.

I like the inductees.
Raines FINALLY gets in. Good. I like all three picks.
A little look into Raines's journey there:
