2013 Baseball Hall Of Fame

First of all congrats to Ron Santo and Barry Larkin as they are inducted into Cooperstown this Sunday. With one year ending it times to think about next year and who will be voted in. Given that the BBWAA hasn't failed to push anyone through since 1996 and even though the Veterans Comitte was quiet for quite some time (to the point where people questioned their very existance for a time) they've been faithful since 2008.

This is going to be a huge year with many of the players that are the face of the Steroids Era coming up to the plate, and not to mention each having their own huge threads, the question is will they or won't they make it.

Below is a list of the projected ballot for the BBWAA, who are your up to 10 and will the Veterans keep up with their pace of inducting someone again this coming year?

It would be pretty cool if 2/3rd of the Killer B's made it in, in the same year.

It would be fine with me if none of these guys got in this year although I think Biggio will get in eventually.

I wonder how many people do a double take at #25....

How is Mcgriff not in yet!? What a joke. Bags, Biggio, Smith and Piazza should be in too.

He might be the only player ever to make the HOF under two different names.



I hope Biggio makes it.

I was never a Yankees fan but after his first four-five full seasons I would have thought Donnie Baseball was a lock. I just looked at his stats which are good but man he regressed.

biggio, piazza for sure. Maybe Bagwell and Walker

That's a lot of my childhood right there.

Some great memorable names and cards on that list.

If not for the 94 strike, mcgriff would probably be in.

HOF voting is a JOKE anymore.

I'd say Biggio and Piazza...

Piazza would be my choice for the recently retired. I'm really hoping Dale Murphy gets in. I want Raines to get in as well, but Murphy needs to be there. JMO.

How is Steve Finley not in the HOF yet???

I say none of the above. Most of the hall of famers as of late have been undeserving in my opinion.

I could only bring myself to voting for Morris and Bagwell

Poor Morris was getting so close and now all of the big boys are coming. I think there will be three that get in in 2013. I think Piazza is the only lock, even though Biggio is a lock to get in, not sure he'll get in 2013.

Does Schilling's business woes hurt his chances for 1st ballot? He's going to get in within 3 years for sure.

If I had a vote, my ballot would be stuffed:

2,Jeff Bagwell
5,Alan Trammell
9,Mark McGwire
12,Rafael Palmeiro
14,Barry Bonds
15,Roger Clemens
16,Mike Piazza
17,Sammy Sosa
18,Curt Schilling
19,Craig Biggio
