On Boggs:
"We know there were voters who thought he wasn't a complete player, wasn't a team player, wasn't even a dominant player.
Well, luckily for them, this is America. They have a right to their opinion. It just happens to be ridiculous."
Stark makes the case for Boggs so strongly and so succinctly, that you don't have to think about whether or not Boggs wore enough eye-black.
Since this article is on ESPN's Page 2, it's unclear whether it's meant to be taken seriously in its entirety. Some of the candidates have a legitimate shot to make the HOF, some do not.
But if Eric Neel is going to vote for everybody from the '80s who played hard and had a bubblegum card, I would like to nominate Chris Sabo, Wally Joyner, Kent Hrbek, Brian Downing, and Garth Iorg. At the induction ceremony, maybe Mike Schmidt will ask them to polish his shoes.
