Great class! My only complaint was some jackhole didn’t vote for Ichiro.

Great for Wags. Hated we traded him but he was never happy with management if I remember right.

Billy the Kid in the HoF.

:+1::+1::+1:

That is insane. BBWA can kick rocks.

Agreed

So that’s now three Astros caps in the Hall? Hell yeah

Altuve would be next. Verlander going in as a Tiger.

Why… he won WS in Houston…

Oddly its now the Hall Of Fame’s final decision.
Hopefully it doesn’t end up w a player irate.

Forgot 2 post this.
Mets likely w current career ?
“Carlos Beltran, Wagner’s teammate from 2006-09 in Queens, fell short at 70.3 percent in his third year of eligibility, but the now-Mets executive appears to be a lock for eventual enshrinement.”

Does that mean Beltran should go in as an Astro?

You think that Beltran will be a Hall of Famer?

Yes it looks like he will be.

He didn’t win a WS as a playr here…

Yes he did.

Not that I would compare the situations. Verlander won 2 rings and 2 cy youngs here.

Players used to choose but Wade Boogs went in as a Devil Ray and the hall got in their feelings and changed the rule where they choose what team a player would represent.

If Beltran gets in, then there should be no question when Altuve’s time comes.

Beltran didn’t…

You can’t keep the guy with the 2nd most postseason homeruns out of the HOF…
