It’s official: Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg are in, once again Alan Trammell is not. Trammell, in fact, suffered the indignity of finishing behind Steve Garvey. I’ve never been a Garvey fan but I’ll happily admit he was a good player in his day. A HOFer? Of course not. Better than Trammell? Please.

And why does Tom Candiotti get votes, but not Mark Langston?

Now I’m just getting grouchy. Here’s what others have to say:

• Class of 2005 (Baseball Musings). David Pinto also offers a nice comparison between Boggs and Tony Gwynn.
• Hall of Fame Report (Dodger Thoughts). Jon also isn’t happy about the lack of attention given to Trammell.
• Sandberg and the Hall (Cub Reporter). They’re a little, um, excited over there.
• Vitriol Greets Halos’ New Moniker Proving Moreno is an Advertising Genius (Halo Herald). Not interested in the HOF? You can always read about this silliness.

Well, there it is. A hearty Ducksnorts tip of the bill to Boggs and Sandberg.
