Glavin was a whiney douchebag when he was with the Mets, but he does have the stats.
Great class! With these three, plus Torre, LaRussa and Cox...what a great year for the Hall inductions.
Thomas, plus Maddux and Glavine is quite the statement, too...in particular Thomas and Maddux who are sort of the anti-steroid symbols of the otherwise tarnished era.
Good choices, all. (I expect, though, that now most of the discussion will be about those who did NOT get in, rather than those who did.)
The Cubs letting Maddux go is the biggest mistake in their history, bigger than trading Lou Brock.
What a time to be a baseball fan in Atlanta. How lucky am I that I got to watch all those games with Cox, Glavine, and Maddox for all those years.
Cristy Mathewson, Walter Johnson, Dizzy Dean, Bob Gibson, Tom Seaver, Tom Glavine
Which one doesn’t quite fit??
The hall has become a joke
Not complete until Pete Rose is there.
Ken Griffey Jr. ought to be coming up pretty soon if Frank Thomas was eligible. He’s another five-tool guy who was anti-steroid.
Biggio didn’t make it. Just damn!
Pure BS that the best big game pitcher of the last 40 years, by the name of Jack Morris didn’t make it on his last time on the list.

Who would have been on your ballot Auh2? I’d have added at least Biggio and Piazza.
He of the red bat, Jacques Jones, got 1 vote. Perhaps by someone protesting the voting system? Because, really? Jacques Jones?
