Excellent points.  I like both of these guys.

I have had a problem with the HOF voting ever since Tony Perez was voted in.  I thought Tony was a great player... just not HOF caliber.  So, I alwatys find myself at this time of year asking: "If Tony is in, shouldn't this guy be in?"

And, the answer would be most definitely yes to Dawson and Blyleven.
