Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg, great guys from the Cheers era who were becoming too quickly forgotten, are elected to the Hall of Fame - happy about that. Of course, I can't have read Rich Lederer's stuff and be happy about Bert Blyleven's omission, and the lack of appreciation for Alan Trammell hits me wrong.
The ex-Dodger standings:
Player Votes % (75% needed) Tommy John 123 23.8 Steve Garvey 106 20.5 Darryl Strawberry 6 1.2 Tom Candiotti 2 0.4 Otis Nixon 0 0.0
The early days of Dodger Thoughts featured a short piece about Garvey. I have always liked Garvey, but the case is clearly against him for the Hall.
