Some great players there. I remember when all three of the "newcomers" were still playing. I was a little young, but I knew they were great players. Can't wait to see who gets admitted this year.

| i think mattingly deserves to be there, compared to a lot of the others on that list anyways...id like to hope that the HoF voters considered intangibles as well as they considered statistics, but you are right, they probably dont. |
