Glad to see Omar Vizquel high up. Playing in Cleveland during his best years, Vizquel was overshadowed by the Eastern media's adoration of Jeter (IMO). But he played the position of SS as well if not better than Jeter, and was excellent at putting the ball in play as a batter: sacrifices, moving runners, clutch hits (2877 total hits, batting .272). He should be in the Hall, and will be ... someday.

Clemens, Bonds, Sosa, and all the other juicers can go to hell right with Schilling.

I thought Omar was already in.

Now, how about veterans like Bobby Bonds, Jim Kaat, Dick Allen, Tony Oliva, and Curt Flood?
