is the best player on that list. His dominance from the late 90's through early 00's was legendary. Randy Johnson and Smoltz are top notch horses as well and certainly deserve a place in the HOF, maybe not this year for Smoltz though. I never thought of Biggio as a HOF player
are correct. The 3 pitchers listed, and Bagwell, and Mussina should be in, and, Biggio was an accumulator, but he was so consistent at it for so long he should be in.
Certainly the best I've ever seen. Top guy on that list for me. Peak Pedro is the most dominant pitcher ever imo, amazing what he did in his environment. Smoltz also deserves it, his post season resume and his Start/Relief dual impact get him in with ease.
Bagwell should get in before Biggio, both should go in. Piazza should go in.
is by buying tickets.I'll admit that they had great "early careers" but the voters shouldn't have to try to figure out which stats came about before they started cheating. These guys made multi millions of $$$ and they're not in jail(nor SHOULD they be. Being kept out of the HOF is not that much of a penalty for them.

I don't get the "maybe not this year" mentality. the same goes for "first ballot" or "unanimous" or based on other eligible players, etc. As a voter or a fan, either a guy belongs in the HOF or he doesn't. Period. I don't care first ballot, % of votes, etc. If he is, in your estimation, a HOF player, then you vote for him.

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should go in.
