2005 Baseball Hall of Fame

[TulsaPup]

Just wanted to see what everyone thought of the new inductees, and of course, the snubs. Inducted this year were Cubs 2B Ryne Sandberg and Red Sox 3B Wade Boggs. Still not in the hall are home run record holder Roger Maris and Braves great Dale Murphy

Sandberg and Boggs very well deserved. I don't think Maris should be in. I really like Murphy but I think he is borderline. He probably won't get in.

Sandberg, great hitting 2b for his day (pre-juice) and probably the best fielding 2b of all-time, he gets my vote. Boggs, one of the best contact hitters of all-time, only behind Gwynn in the modern era and also a great fielder. I believe Maris wont get in, fairly mediocre career numbers overall, although he did win two MVPs. I would love for Murphy to get in, he was my favorite player when I was younger. He was a great man, won back to back MVPs. He was also a catcher for a while, he fell only 2 homers shy of 400 which used to be the magic number, but with roidhead era screwing that all up I am just not sure if he is giong to make it. He also won 5 gold gloves in OF. He is on the edge, but I am not sure if he will ever get the push.

As a huge Cubbies fan and a Sandberg era kid, It was a proud moment when he got inducted. Almost as good as when Nolan Ryan got in.
