Hall of Fame

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.
Picking up where last year's version left off, the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual provides in-depth analysis of and commentary on the San Diego Padres. Get your copy today.
