Filed under: MLB Hall of Fame, MLB PEDs
With the clock ticking toward the midnight deadline on New Year's Eve, I'm sitting here looking at my 2011 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. And you know what? Something keeps occurring to me after more than two decades of filling out these things.
This is going to be so easy.
Roberto Alomar gets a check mark next to his name, and so does Barry Larkin. I'll also select Bert Blyleven for the 14th consecutive time (that's how many times he's been on the ballot), and I'll go with Fred McGriff again and Lee Smith again.
That's about it.
Oh, just so you know, you can choose up to 10 folks out of the overall 33, but here's why this is easy: Several candidates promptly were eliminated -- at least in my little Cooperstown justice system -- even before their names hit the ballot.
Mark McGwire. Rafael Palmeiro.
You're outta here.
