Beckett Message Boards

When will this years class be announced? Thanks

The 2014 class was already inducted and includes: Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Frank Thomas and managers Joe Torre, Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa.

As for the 2015 class the voting hasn't taken place yet, but results will be announced January 7th. Randy Johnson should definitely make it in, John Smoltz probably will as well...not sure about Pedro Martinez but it will be close. There are some good players that should get voted in this year from the veterans committee. I think Gil Hodges will get enough votes this time. Jim Kaat, Tony Oliva, and Maury Wills will all come close.

Ok thanks. Yes I think Pedro should get in.

I think it will be Johnson and Pedro with everyone else coming up short.

IMO Bonds should get in. I know some won't vote for him.

Agree Zep......

I really think Lee Smith should already be there....his problem is that he jumped around too much and saves/appearances (at least innings pitched) was a different beast back then. Ask those who faced him if he deserves to be there.

Richie/Dick Allen is in the PJHOF.....to heck with the BBWAA.

Biggio missed last years HOF by two stinking votes so you can bet he gets in this year!

Biggio, Pedro, Smoltz, Tramell and Randy Johnson all deserve to go. Im also a little partial to McGriff because I watched him a lot in the 80's and 90's and he was a heck of a gamer.

I second Trammell!

Also Hodges, Kaat, Tiant and Wills from the golden age era.
