Who deserves immortality?
The BBWAA will hand in their Hall of Fame Ballots by December 17 with Hall of Fame selections announced in January. Like last year, it is a loaded ballot, even if one were to discount the contributions of suspected PED-users. Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, and Gary Sheffield headline the first-time Hall of Fame-eligibles, joining an already crowded field that includes Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Roger Clemens, Edgar Martinez, Mike Piazza, Mike Mussina, Jeff Kent, Larry Walker, Tim Raines, Alan Trammell, Lee Smith, and Jack Morris. A complete list of eligible players is here. The only former Royals on the ballot are Tom Gordon and Jermaine Dye.
Here are the ballots of the Royals Review staff which will not be counted because we are not members of the BBWAA.
What about you? Who would be on your Hall of Fame Ballot?
