Follow Up

For the record, my ballot would have:
Barry Bonds (all-time record HR record holder, and that OBP is out of this world.  The whole league was afraid of him.  That speaks such volumes.)
Roger Clemens (spectacular strikeout artist who kept pitching and kept dominating.  It was scared when my teams played his.)
Craig Biggio (3000 hits is too powerful in history for me to discount.  I'd even vote for Johnny Damon if he got to 3000.)
Jeff Bagwell (the Killer B's should go in together.)
Mike Piazza (insanely gifted catcher - but mostly for his hitting prowess)
Alan Trammell (for the Tigers!)
David Wells (I think it'd be a much better Hall of Fame with Wells in it)
Mark McGwire (always been a fan.  He owned up to it and could smack bombs like no one before or since.    The steroids (?) could only go so far.  Great eye, great teammate, and now giving back to the game.)
Curt Schilling (I was on the fence with him, but I remember how excited I was to learn the D-Backs got him in 2000.  I knew they would win the Series.  They were unstoppable.  And he was thoroughly dominant with the Snakes.  For that, he gets my vote.)
