Cox, LaRussa, Torre in to the HoF

Cool that those 3 will go in together, also cool that Cox will probably get to go in the same year as Maddux and Glavine.

Pretty much a given that Cox will wear a Braves hat and Torre a Yankees hat, but how about LaRussa? The HoF Committee makes that decision now (Thanks Wade Boggs... that was him who sold his hat rights to TB, right?), but the have consulted with him as to what he would prefer. There's a chance he'll go in with a blank hat.

I'm not sure why it bothers me so much but its kind of messed up that Marvin Miller has not been inducted yet.

Seems like LaRussa has to go as a Cardinal. Most WS wins, most seasons (by 6), highest winning percentage.

Tony will go in as a Cardinal

Yup, I can't imagine him going in under anything else, it was his defining organization.

Clemens also tried selling off his HoF hat I believe.

I know Marvin Miller impacted MLB pretty heavily, but at the end of the day, he never played, he never managed, he never coached, he never owned/ran a MLB team. Just seems like the HoF is for those who perform on the field or coordinate what occurs on the field (through building teams or managing/coaching them).

The only owner that should've been in was Connie Mack. The others are a joke. Yawkey's in despite not having a black player until the 1960s

The idea of that ratbag Steinbrenner ever getting in is nauseating. He never should have been able to buy his way back into the game.
