In response to "Also...Will, you think Torre is an immediate HOFer, but Cox and LaRussa have to wait? nm -- nm" by Jim

I don't see any manner they put 3 managers in (since this is the Veterans Committee) at one time and I think Torre will be their first choice.

Torre has a legitimate Playing Career argument to be made for him; then add in the 4 titles...and the respect enough that baseball put him in their VP role...

LaRussa's got 3 titles, but I get the sense that he's not the most popular guy...add in 1 of those rings was with a stacked (roided) team...I could see them being docked.

Bobby has only 1 title. I think he'd wait.

in a perfect world, they all make it, but I don't see it happening.

Okay, he's got a solid argument here. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:46 3
- Yeah...makes sense. This is exactly why I think placing limits on this stuff is absurd. All 3 deserve to go...they should go. -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 10:48 2
  - I'll be surprised if all three are not voted in. I don't understand why Cox, who retired last year, and LaRussa, who just retired, are same ballot. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:50 1
    - Teh Veterans Committe only meets every 2 years...and iirc, they might actually only consider players 1 year, then execs the next - Will Hunting Oct 31, 10:55
