This is the only time I'll say this: I'm a Hawk homer. I really want to see Andre Dawson make it, though that's largely a sentimental thing.

Lots of big names there, I would imagine Alomar, Mattingly and McGriff have a good shot.

**CysDoc** · 11-27-2009, 04:12 PM

I would agree Dawson should get in and Lee Smith, and McGwire. I know the arguement but either you vote all of them in or none of them and I can't see not putting Bonds or Clemens in down the road.

**CysDoc** · 11-27-2009, 04:13 PM

Oh yeah and Alomar

**hurdleisu24** · 11-27-2009, 04:16 PM

Smith and Dawson should get in other than that I wouldn't vote for anyone other than McGwire and im not sure he has much of a chance

Dawson and Lee Smith. There are a few others that I liked, but don't think they deserve it. It is a shame that Dawson isn't in. He was a true power hitter before steroids took hold and I think he has around 440 career homers and over 300 stolen bases.

Given Robbie Alomar's issues in his personal life, I highly doubt any one with a vote wants to see that guy in the Hall of Fame.

He was an outstanding all-around player before his knees went south.

I'll always love the blank check offer he made for the Cubs to sign him.

Me, too. I loved watching him throw out guys on their way to first base.

I wore my Awesome Dawson T-shirt a lot.

He had a gun in right field. I wish more players had arms like that.
