And we can't forget about Andre "Awesome" Dawson! (I had to put his name in for all you die-hard Cubs fans) he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame too!

They should. They are a big reason they make such good money. Flood hit .300 six times, won a host of Gold Gloves and played on three NL Pennant and two World Series winners. He sacrificed his career to challenge the Reserve Clause. Miller transformed a very naive (as far as labor relations)group of players into the most powerful sports union the world has ever known. He belongs in the COOPERSTOWN!! I'm happy the players are coming around, though. Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino, Mark Texeira and others have publicly come out for the EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT.
