If you could add to the Hall of Fame who is not currently in, who would it be? My vote would be for Ron Santo.

Ron Santo or Vern Stephens -
Probably Dick Allen or Bert Blyleven.Comment

Santo, not only because of his playing career, but also his years as an announcer and his declining health.Comment

Yeah, it's really gotta be Santo."Hall of Famer Whitey Ford now on the field... pleading with the crowd for, for some kind of sanity!"Comment

Definitely Sherry Magee for position players, Carl Mays for pitchers."Simply put, the passion, interest and tradition surrounding baseball in New York is unmatched."

players added
Santo, or Alan Trammel..both had long careers-with good stats..
just as good as Ozzie or that Pirate 2nd baseman from the 50's
and 60's, who's name escapes me at the moment...
There's certainly some players out there on the cusp.Comment

2 relief pitchers that should be in - Goose Gossage and Bruce Sutter.Red, it took me 16 years to get here. Play me, and you'll get the best I got.Comment

If it was only 1 player, I'd add Santo. If more, i'd go with a few more 3rd-basemen (Boyer and Hack). Then I'd move onto other positions.AL East Champions: 1981 1982
AL Pennant: 1982
NL Central Champions: 2011
NL Wild Card: 2008
"It was like coming this close to your dreams and then watching them brush past you like a stranger in a crowd. At the time you don't think much of it; you know, we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought, 'Well, there'll be other days.' I didn't realize that that was the only day." - Moonlight Graham

(Ron Santo)A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation. I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel. I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do, play it right and with respect. If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera. - Ryne SandbergComment

My hero as a kid, Kenny Boyer. Helluva player for about a 10 yr. period. After winning MVP in 64 career declined dramatically.
The other would be Santo, another terrific 3B from that era.It Might Be? It Could Be?? It Is!Comment
