EZC-Boston Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Awesome, Boggs is my favorite player of all time! He was nasty, he deserved it. I can't believe anybody doubted Ryno either...
Alaska Darin Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Once again Jim Rice and Goose Gossage get the shaft. Amazing

bluenews Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 She was a decent AG, and the SNL bits were very funny!!!
Rico Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Here's to Boggs going into Cooperstown as a Yankee!
KD in CA Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 One interesting first timer in the list....Darryl Strawberry. Six votes (not enough to qualify again). Friggin Darryl....you coulda been a first ballot HOFer. Looking at the full list, there are some great ballplayers that are not close to getting in. Murphy and Mattingly at 10%?? Jack Morris only at 33%? The voting totals out of 516 ballots cast (387 needed for election): ELECTED Wade Boggs 474 (91.9%) Ryne Sandberg 393 (76.2%) NOT ELECTED Bruce Sutter 344 (66.7%) Jim Rice 307 (59.5%) Rich ''Goose'' Gossage 285 (55.2%) Andre Dawson 270 (52.3%) Bert Blyleven 211 (40.9%) Lee Smith 200 (38.8%) Jack Morris 172 (33.3%) Tommy John 123 (23.8%) Steve Garvey 106 (20.5%) Alan Trammell 87 (16.9%) Dave Parker 65 (12.6%) Don Mattingly 59 (11.4%) Dave Concepcion 55 (10.7%) Dale Murphy 54 (10.5%) Willie McGee 26 (5.0%) DROPPED FROM BALLOT Jim Abbott 13 (2.5%) Darryl Strawberry 6 (1.2%) Jack McDowell 4 (0.8%) Chili Davis 3 (0.6%) Tom Candiotti 2 (0.4%) Jeff Montgomery 2 (0.4%) Tony Phillips 1 (0.2%) Terry Steinbach 1 (0.2%) Mark Langston 0 Otis Nixon 0

Number is getting higher for Sutter, maybe 2006 will be the year.
USMCBillsFan Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 IMHO Mattingly was screwed!!! :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: voters.....
