Appearances not withstanding, the bottom line is he never failed a drug test, he was a fan favorite, and he has the numbers to warrant admission.
Sure, there will be some writers who will leave him off thier ballots, but I will venture he gets close to 80% or More.
Ripken may be the first player to ever get Unanimous selection (if not he will be 98%+) and Gwynn will get 90-95%.
Although Ripken may be the bigger star...Gwynn has the best credentials by far. You have to go back 50 years to find a hitter with as perfect a swing. One of the top two hitters of the last century and backed up by the stats. The man watched film all day and never stopped working on his swing.
