Who's going to make it in to the Hall of Fame tonight?

Who didn't vote for Raines? He's a lock.

Isnt this his last go around on the ballot?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Vlad looks like the biggest lock there

A lot of Fence guys to me

Yes. And he's getting in.

The question is "who will make the HOF tonight?" and Vlad is far from a lock. I would say it's a stretch for him to get in this year. Bagwell and Raines are the only locks to get in tonight. Then Pudge, Hoffman, and Vlad are the next possibilities.

 

[Podunkparte]

Only really interested in seeing Edgar's percentage and hopefully being excited for him getting in next year

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Pudge.

 

[tducey]

Bagwell, Raines and Pudge.

 

[Podunkparte]

Edgar up to 58.6% from 43% last year

 

[Erie Warrior]

It worked out well. Bonds is still not in, that's a win. I'm glad Raines finally got in.

I bet Hoffman is slightly salty, 1% away.

Yep, and he won't get in over Rivera in 19', so he's got one more year or he's waiting awhile.

 

[DT LUNA]

Who's going to make it in to the Hall of Fame tonight?

Pudge Rodrigez

 

[Mondo Jay]

Bagwell, Raines and Pudge.

2 needles and a bindle.

 

[TKOSpikes]

FINALLY!!! Tim Raines is the biggest reason I started watching baseball.

 

[Voltaire26]

Bonds should have been in, he had to bat against pitchers who were on PEDs and Clements had to pitch to hitters that were on PEDs.

It's time to stop pretending and let Clemens and Bonds in.

He's clearly getting in next year. I don't think anyone has gotten that close and not got in the next year. I'm thinking it's a 4 player class next year with Vlad, Hoffman, Thome, and Chipper. I'll also be interested in the Veteran's Committee next year as there are quite a few good candidates including: Trammel, Whitaker, Grich, Tiant, Reuschel, Nettles, Evans, Randolph, Buddy Bell, Keith Hernandez, Bobby Bonds, Ted Simmons, among others who are eligible in the "Modern Baseball Era" ballot.
