Agree Completely. Ifully expected to see Sutter and Gossage get in, and felt Jim Rice had an outside shot.
OH well, I'll be interested to see how the votes broke out. I wonder where Albert Belle fell in the voting -- I am hoping less than 10%.
Turns out he did get less than 10% of the vote, but why would you say this? Just because the guy was a prick shouldn't keep him excluded, particularly with his numbers. Unless you state that the guy was 'roided up, it's an absolute joke that someone with his numbers isn't in there: his 162 game average for home runs and rbi's is 40 and 130, respectively. He was an All-Star 5 times in 12 years, and finished in the Top 5 for MVP 3 times. And the man had 9 years in a row with 100 or more rbi's, including 2 years where he only played in 106 and 143 games.
Why shouldn't he be in?
