Joe Torre - Hall of Fame?
 

When will Joe Torre be elected to the Hall of Fame? He has had very good playing and managing careers but I am not sure how 'combo elections work'?

Thank you,

srsly? Of course, no question.

He'll prolly make it for managing the Yanks to those rings, but I don't think that should matter. Joe Torre doesn't have the same impact as say a guy like Lasorda or Anderson. Don't think he makes it in.

Definite Hall of Fame. He's number eight all time with wins as a manager; everyone in the top eleven is either active or in the hall already. That, plus six pennants and four World Series wins.

He's a shoo-in. 6 pennants, 4 World Series wins, top ten in all-time wins, plus his playing career which featured an MVP season and a batting title, plus his influence in the formation of the players union.

No Question, first ballot HOFer

All-time post season wins leader.

Disclaimer: He did get to manage the yankees to 12 str8 postseasons the very same season they expanded the postseason to 3 rounds... but still.

He should have made it in as a player.
