Hall of Fame

This past weekend was quite the milestone fest. Bonds hit number 755, A-Rod hit number 500 and Glavine won number 300. So with that in mind I think it's time to determine just who of the current baseball players will make the hall of fame if they all retired today. There might be some omissions because I'm not really sure if guys like Rickey Henderson are still technically not retired. Plus I'm bound to miss another handful or so players because I'm not very good at this sort of thing.

Anyways now that I've got your interest piqued here we go

Sure Fire Locks
1) Roger Clemens: Has the wins, K's, and the Cy Youngs.

2) Barry Bonds: Possibly the best player ever

3) Greg Maddux: Over three hundred wins, a handful of Cy Youngs and a World Series.

4) Ken Griffey Jr.: Got the home runs and the defence plus no steriod suspision

5) Tom Glavine: three hundred wins, a Cy Young and a World Series

6) Sammy Sosa: The mans hit six hundred home runs. Give him some credit.

7) Mariona Rivera: For his October dominance alone

8) Randy Johnson: Has the K's, the Cy Youngs and a ring.


Safe Bets
9) Craig Biggio: Has three thousand hits and is one of the best ever offensive second baseman

10) Alex Rodriguez: 500 home runs and 2 MVP's.

11)Frank Thomas: 500 home runs, an MVP and a world series ring

12) Mike Piazza: Best offensive catcher ever

13) John Smoltz: Has a world series ring, lots of wins and saves

Good Shot
14) Omar Vizquel: Longevity plus defence should be enough to get him in.

15) Kenny Lofton: Great longevity, lots of stolen bases, great on-base percentage

16) Trevor Hoffman: All time leader in saves doesn't get his due

17) Manny Ramirez: Nearly 500 home runs, world series MVP, good average.

18) Curt Shilling: Numbers aren't overwhelming but he has two rings and one bloody sock.

19) Ivan Rodriguez: Great defence and good offense, an MVP and a world series ring

20) Gary Sheffield: almost 500 home runs but steriod cloud might be enough to keep him out.

21) Jim Thome: A solid long career but no MVP's, no World Series, still he's going to get 500 homers

22) Derek Jeter: Just because of the rings, although his in season statistics are also pretty good.
