The first-year eligibles, and returning eligibles, for the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame have officially been announced.
Among the first-year candidates, one stands out - Robbie Alomar. If not for the Doug Hirschbeck spitting incident, he wouldn't have a worry. His only other "shortcoming" is not getting 3,000 hits.
Otherwise, his career numbers make the case: 1,500 runs scored, 10 Gold Gloves and more.
Larkin and McGriff are borderline for eventual induction in my book. Edgar Martinez is NOT a HOFer. Neither are Dale Murphy and most other carryovers not named Blyleven.
