Congrats to Cal Ripken Jr. & Tony Gwynn
Mark McGwire didn't meet the standard.

This was about as much a lock as you're gonna see for HOF voting. No surprises on this vote at all, and I suspect Mac will make it in year three or four. Of course much of it will depend upon who else is eligible at that time.

i am a huge fan of the way Pete played baseball and what he did on the field, but the guy compromised the integrity of the game, was caught, lied, and has never been truly apologetic for it. The gimmicks of signing the baseballs with the betting theme...that guy is a disgusting slimeball and doesn't belong anywhere near the Hall.

I have told this story before but it is worth repeating. I was sitting near the on deck circle at Wrigley (first base side) and Gwynn was watching the game intently. My friend and I kept saying congrats Tony and good luck on your 3,000th. He would not turn around if his life depended on it. He was so focused on watching the pitcher. Now before you say of course he wouldn't turn around, I can tell you of at least 20 different players who have responded to both my compliments and taunts during games. Gwynn is what is good about baseball. A guy who busted his ass and respected the game.

Gwynn is one of those guys it is hard to dislike. Even when he would beat the Flubbies.
