I see several that I already thought were in and are not. Many deserve to be HOFers

Interesting list.  Several are not in because they took drugs to beef themselves up to hit all the homers they had.  Two are not in because they were banned from baseball.  Injuries cut short many careers but that's the way it is.  I am sorry for a few of the named players & wonder why they didn't get in.

Living in Houston gave me a greater appreciation for guys like Biggio and Bagwell. Although certain questions linger around Bagwell, it's deplorable that Biggio had to wait a year to get into the HoF.

That was interesting Lenn.   Thanks for posting.

I have always had a favorite "not in the hall" player:    Tommy John.  288 wins, surgery named after him and a class act.   I had the pleasure of meeting him once in Cleveland.   A great guy.   I hope someday the veteran committee sees fit to vote him in.
