Abbott and Costello are NOT in the Baseball Hall of Fame.  That is an old myth.  See for yourself on the official list.\n\nhttp://www.baseballhalloffame.org

How is the Cardinal-Cub rivalry overrated?  The two have been rivals for eons, been in the same division since both were founded (both were in the NL East after 1969 and moved to the Central together when each league went to three divisions), and have played each other over 2000 times (Cubs led the rivalry at the end of last year 1037-998).\n\nHow do you say that a team that only came into existence in 1962 compares with that?

Barry Bonds \n\nThe Hall of Shame! not the Hall of Fame.

I couldn’t find anybody with that name to have played baseball.  Thou he may have played under another name you may want to check out this site http://www.baseball-reference.com/

Since when is doing cute and entertaining back flips the criteria for being the best shortstop in the Hall of Fame?\n\nHONUS WAGNER (correctly pronounced hon-iss - as in promise)\nwas clearly the best.  Exceptional glove work and no other shortstop comes close to his batting prowess (batting average and power).  Wagner was one of only 3 National League shortstops to win a batting title.  The Wizard of Aaahhhhhss was not one of the other two.

Then why are you mooching two free points, Susan.  i.e. Reported.  Quit answering when you have no answer.\n\nAnswer: Fernando Tatis of the St. Louis Cardinals on 04-23-1999 in the third inning against Chan Ho Park.

Albert Pujols. I live by St. Louis but I'm not just saying him cause i live here. He's mlb leader in homers(16) Sure there's people like Chris Shelton with a lot of homers but not good average. Pujols has good average and homers(16)

As many have already said\nthe addition of Sheffield will only shore up thier offense.\nThey need a lead-off hitter who can get on base, Granderson was ok there---but he strikes out too much for that spot.\n\nAs it stands now (before the winter meetings) I think they have a good shot of making the play-offs. Division or wild card. I am sure The Twins will be there as well.\n\nJemery Bonderman will only get better.\nJustin Verlander threw more innings last year then he ever has.\nThat might hurt him some in '07.\nBut, hopefully he doesnt fall to that "sophmore jinx"\nWith Zumaya out of the bullpen, throwing 102 mph, will help.\n\nBrandon Inge needs to buy a hitting bat, not a swinging one.\nMags, Pudge, and Guillen need to stay healthy if they are going to make a run at it.\nThey pitching looks good, and good pitching will beat good hitting.\nOf course, that is assuming they will produce as well as last year. Which is not always the case. Just ask the white sox.\n\nRe-signing Sean Casey was a smart move. His left handed bat will be well suited for that right field fence.\nChris Shelton is a question mark. No one knows for sure where he will end up. If he does well in spring training (which, btw, is only 75 days away for pitchers and catchers to report) he might have a roster spot. Chances are Shelton will end up in Toledo for most of the year to work on his swing.\n\nI look forward to playing The Yankees again, where i know it wont be easy. They will want to get even next year, and it will be fun to watch them play.\n\nWhatever happens, I doubt they finish under .500!\nIt will be nice to see them contend for several years, even if they dont win the WC or division, because after 12 years in a row of being under .500 Tiger fans deserve a good decent team.\n\nI know I babble a lot about The Tigers (cant help it! I'm a Tiger fan for life!) but I think they will be good, and make the playoffs.

Well, there was another question just like this one - and I had two educated guesses.  But since your screenname is BOSOXFAN, I'm gonna go with Pedro Martinez.  My other guess was Mike Hampton.

Robin Yount (MIlwakee Brewers)and Al Kaline( Detriot Tigers)went straight to the Majors. NO minor league ball. Although when Al signed there was no draft.

Pete Rose, with 4256 hits.\n\nand if we are lucky, never to be in the hall of fame

Wow, before I read the details, I had picked Barry Bonds and Kobe Bryant.  I would also like to add Terrill Owens for his selfishness.  Great Question!

I grew up with Rickey Henderson as my favorite baseball player ever.  I loved the guy, hell i even had his book, and comic book.  OH yeah, he had a comic book.  Anyways he dominated the game, the best leadoff hitter of all time, hands down.  He should be a first ballot hall of famer.  Lets not forget his records in leadoff game home runs either.

Tough to say....his homers say HOF, the rest of his numbers do not.  He is in the same boat as Mark McGwire.  I also am a Cardinals fan.  I think he will eventually make it, but not on the first ballot.  Same goes for Big Mac.

Mike Stanton lately has not been as great pitching as in the past, but if you need someone for one or two outs, he most likely will be your man. Alex Gonzalez is a great addition. His glove is great and his batting average has gone up this year while in Boston. It's a shame the Red Sox did not resign him, because they have not a great short stop in a while, however, I think they will fit in well with the Reds orginization.

Does Nolan Ryan count? Talk about the greatest arm when it comes to pitchers in the MLB history.

Who's on First, What's on Second, I Don't Know is on third. Why is in left. Because is in center. Tomorrow is the pitcher. Today is catcher. I Don't give a Darn is at short.
