I thought a better case could be made for Sweet Lou, but I sure won’t say Simmons doesn’t deserve it.

Marvin Miller deserves to be in the HOF.

I’m surprised. Ted Simmons was a fine player, but Hall of Fame material?

I read that only about 1% of all players who ever played major league baseball are in the Hall of Fame. It’s a very exclusive club.

I guess it begs the question, should many more of the very good players who were never superstars, be elected?

If I recall correctly, the Baseball Writers ballot for the Hall of Fame limits them to choosing 10 players on each annual ballot. Are that many Hall of Fame caliber players really omitted because of the limits on how many they can vote for?

Is he the first labor representative to be there? I’m thinking so...there are quite a few owners.
