    After looking at the list of first-year candidates, I see quite a few who should make it in easily.  They include names like Ozzie Guillen, Orel Hershiser, and Will Clark.  But, after looking at other candidates who have been on the waiting-list for several years, I'm not so sure.  These are guys who you would think are shoo-ins for Cooperstown, but they have been on the ballot for five years or more.  I'm talking about Dave Concepcion, Steve Garvey, Goose Gossage, Andre Dawson, Don Mattingly, Dale Murphy, Dave Parker, and Bruce Sutter.  All of these former players are just as deserving (if not more) to get into the Hall as Robin Yount, who made it on his first year of eligibility.  Maybe it's time for the fans to have a say as to who gets elected in.

     Selections will be announced on January 10, 2006.
