Name the active/recently retired MLB players who will be 1st ballot HOFers
Looking for players you think will be inducted during their 1st year of eligibility. As shown by the MLB.com list below, this is a rather exclusive group.
A few for your consideration and discussion to get things started (I know I am probably forgetting some who should be mentioned): Recently retired: I think Greg Maddux & Ken Griffey Jr are locks Players who are still active that have a chance: Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera and Albert Pujols have the best shots IMO List taken from MLB.com Rickey Henderson 2009 Tony Gwynn 2007 Cal Ripken Jr. 2007 Wade Boggs 2005 Dennis Eckersley 2004 Paul Molitor 2004 Eddie Murray 2003 Ozzie Smith 2002 Dave Winfield 2001 Kirby Puckett 2001 George Brett 1999 Nolan Ryan 1999 Robin Yount 1999 Mike Schmidt 1995 Steve Carlton 1994 Reggie Jackson 1993 Tom Seaver 1992 Rod Carew 1991 Joe Morgan 1990 Jim Palmer 1990 Carl Yastrzemski 1989 Johnny Bench 1989 Willie Stargell 1988 Willie McCovey 1986 Lou Brock 1985 Brooks Robinson 1983 Frank Robinson 1982 Hank Aaron 1982 Bob Gibson 1981 Al Kaline 1980 Willie Mays 1979 Ernie Banks 1977 Mickey Mantle 1974 Warren Spahn 1973 Sandy Koufax 1972 Stan Musial 1969 Ted Williams 1966 Bob Feller 1962 Jackie Robinson 1962

While he has had a good career, I dont think he has even put up good enough #'s to even make the HOF let alone be a 1st ballot inductee. Biggest problem is he spent his whole career in Colorado as writers will hold that against him IMO.

No way Arod does after his admitted steroid use. I do not think Rivera will either on a 1st ballot because he is a closer. Closers have a hard enough time getting in period, nevermind 1st ballot. he will get in I just do not think 1st ballot.
Jeter Pujols Maddux Griffey

Mine would be
Maddox Randy Johnson Griffey Jr I would be okay with Jeter too but ether way is fine by me piazza i dont think so, even with the great offense, his defense was bad, and he never won a champtionship which might have made up for it pujols if he keeps up the pace, but i think it's gonna be alot harder for guys to do that now post - steroid era. gonna go back to decline starting at 32 for most players no to arod, no to Mo this is a very select list and im glad it's not watered down, hope it stays that way. i did think roberto alomar deserved on it though
