Re: Baseball HOF Results

Another former Expo who will be on the ballot next year is Tim Raines. He'll get a few votes, but nowhere near enough to get in. He's another guy who was considered a potential future HOF'er during the heart of his career, but didn't quite put up the numbers when all was said and done. He finished with 2609 hits, and .294 BA, and a .385 OBP. He's 5th all-time in SB with 808. He was one of the best all-around players in MLB for about 6 years straight in the mid-80's, but got injured after going to the White Sox and was never the same after that. Had he had two more solid years, he would be getting a lot more consideration.

Tim Raines is my real benchmark for how intelligent HOF voters are. If Raines only gets like 20% of the vote, I officially give up.
