Lee Smith and Harold Baines were already elected by the the Veterans Committee. If I had unlimited ballot spots, I would have likely also voted for: Andruw Jones, Jeff Kent, Manny Ramirez, Gary Sheffield, Sammy Sosa, Todd Helton, and Andy Pettitte. A case could also be made for: Omar Vizquel, Billy Wagner, Lance Berkman, Roy Oswalt, and Miguel Tejada. |
