Fred McGriff was elected to the Hall of Fame today - https://www.mlb.com/news/fred-mcgriff-elected-to-hall-of-fame-2023-class

Congratulations to the Crime Dog!

Great news. 

Wow! Unanimous too... and some other guys got less than four votes, which doesn't bode well for them going forward. 

Very deserved. Was hoping for Mattingly and Murphy as well. 

Well deserved. And the list is updated. I've got work to do....Last-Topps-(base-set)-Card-of-Every-Hall-of-Famer-Who-Has-a-Topps-Card

About time! So overlooked because of his tainted peers of his time. A worthy addition to the Hall.

I like McGriff.  So congrats on him making it.  But it remains a damn shame Bonds and Clemens remain out.  I mean seriously.  Come on.  7 MVPs. 7 Cy Youngs.  And they can't get in?  Unbelievable.  

I always loved watching McGriff play; he proves that hard work does pay off!

It was surprising that only one candidate received the nod, especially with a weak first-ballot class next month. Do you think the voters go with Beltran right away? Can Rolen and Helton jump from 63% and 52% respectively? No one else stands out, considering Arod tallied just 34% last year.

I understand the whole roids are valid arguments. But the fact is that a lot of stars were doing that in that era and no reason they shouldn't be considered when they were elite compared to everyone else.

I meant tp mention in my post, but i'll do it here. I have a feeling that Bonds/Clemens/Schilling attitude towards people, players and media did them absolutely no favors here. There are many instances where they treated their peers like poo. And now their peers and media are the ones deciding their HOF fate...
