Aaron, Mays, Ruth, Walter Johnson, Mathewson.

That's about the only group who should even be in the discussion for unanimous.

- Honestly, there's a few reasons to deny Rickey. He was not a good teammate in many cases, - Will Hunting Jan 8, 16:35 8
  - if you create a baseball hall of fame and leave the alltime stolen base leader out of it, absent a Pete Rose type issue, congratulation - Reagen Jan 8, 16:36 7
    - Last time I checked, SB's aren't all that important. - Will Hunting Jan 8, 16:40 4
      - Anyone who is obviously *obviously* a hall of famer should be unanimous, because to not vote for him reveals that you are a moron. - TFox Jan 8, 16:43 3

        The NFL Hall of Fame makes fewer mistakes because there are fewer people that vote. - Redmond on a BLT Thursday Jan 8, 16:44

      - Yeah, I don't think there's a question he'll get in, it's more when or by how much. - the liioulu with somthing else Jan 8, 16:41
