Also.

Done and done.

As a 28 y/o Cardinals fan, I can honestly say he is the only Cub that played during my life time that I liked.
I'm glad he is getting in.

+1 :lol:

Not a Hall of Famer

[RandomH]

. Really glad that Dawson is in!

 

[Sly]

Congrats to Dawson, it's deserved...

...but I just can't get over Blyleven and Alomar not getting in.

Was hoping for closer to 50% for Edgar...ugh.

 

[Sean_C]

Congrats to Dawson!

Congrats to The Hawk for flying into his new nest Kudos to you and your collection too Charlies...maybe you will now get a chance to see some stuff on ebay to snag (even if it is at a higher than usual cost) to set 'em and forget 'em into your own PC

 

[henderson939]

They need to let the fans start voting. How can someone leave off Henderson last year and someone vote for Segui. There needs to be some kind of contest where true baseball fans can be tested on their knowledge of the sport and be picked to do the voting fairly based on the players credentials. Whoever voted for Segui or Pat Hentgen should have there privileges taken away. They shouldnt even be on the ballott.

 

[ChasHawk]

What I'm curious to see now is how many cards get listed in the next few days that
I was outbid on earlier this year. :lol:

 

[gt2590]

Its about time.

Should have been in his first year, IMO. Certainly over Ozzie Smith, who went in that year. I'm kinda surprised Alomar didn't get in, but he should in the next coupla years.

 

[Loyalty32]

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Congrats HAWK!

Thanks

Glad he got in, Charlie! He deserved the honor.

 

[George K]

Congrats to the Hawk! One of the elite sluggers of the 1980s and all class!

Here's my favorite card of his:

 

[JackLondon]

Makes me remember the time on Beckett when I got ripped off for a Dawson auto during a trade. The guy made excuse after excuse and never sent his end. Then, he stopped posting altogether.
