Griffey should go in this year plus Raines, Piazza & Bagwell!

It's baseball Hall of Fame talk again.  

It starts with Ken Griffey, who should go in the first ballot:  630 HR, 1,836 RBI, 2, 781 hits and a .284 career batting average.    His best years were in Seattle but he did play 9 years in Cincinnati.

My second choice is Tim Raines, one of the best lead off hitters in major league history.   He played 13 years in Montreal.   Overall, he put up some good numbers:  .294 batting average, 808 stolen bases, 2,608 hits and a .385 On Base Average.   

My third choice is Mike Piazza, a great catcher and hitter:   .308 career batting average & 427 HR.

My fourth choice is Jeff Bagwell, who had all of those great years in Houston.   Keep in mind that he played at The Astrodome, a very tough place to hit homers.   Bagwell would have easily hit 500 in any other park.    His numbers were great:  449 HR, .297 batting average & 1,529 RBI.

Griffey goes in for sure.   I hope that the others go in too!
