A BIASED VIEWPOINT
As a Cub fan, I look at the list above and I think Ryno and Sutter should be locks. I will not claim to be impartial.
You know you are old when you can remember the careers of all the players on the HOF ballot. The other players that I'd like to see make it include Jim Rice, Jack Morris, Bert Blylevan, and Wade Boggs (although I wouldn't vote for Boggs on the first ballot).
How did Terry Steinbach get on the list?
