This year has the smallest amount of players on the ballot. Yesterday I listened to Peter Gammons, who will again add Alan Trammel to his ballot. Here is my ballot:

Rickey Henderson
Bert Blyleven

That is the sum total of whom I would vote for. I would love to throw David Cone a vote for being a warrior and Mattingly a vote for being a class act, but let’s be honest, they were great players, but they belong in the Hall of Very Good.

As for Jim Rice, All-Star Hockeycentric Swamper, Max Webster says it best:

“I was the biggest Jim Rice fan in the world growing up. I think at this point I’d rather have him be one of the best on the outside than one of the worst on the inside.”

Well said Max and I completely agree.

Here is a list of everyone on the ballot.
