Yahoo! Sports: MLB - Winfield, Puckett elected to Hall of Fame
Pretty predictable group, these baseball writers are. I'm guessing Carter goes in next year, but I'm beginning to think that Rice won't make it in. The modern day sluggers and their big numbers are going to bury his stats pretty soon, if not already. Can the voters make that nuanced of a distinction? Maybe, maybe not.
Saddest result is that Tommy John, Don Mattingly and Jim Kaat all ended up with more votes than Bert Blyleven. Not the votes I would have made.
