[Ted Sheckler]

Hopefully he makes it...Probably one of my favorite pitchers to ever watch.

[Chi_archie]

3 pitchers all time have four or more Cy Youngs

Big Unit had 5 and he had four in a row

easily first ballot

[TankHankerous]

Randy johnson wouldnt be allowed to remove a pencap in that room let alone be inducted into the hall of fame on the first reach around

[stealthyburrito]

randy will get over 90% on the first ballot.

[will2survive]

Of the newcomers, Johnson and Pedro get in 1st ballot and Smoltz will get in but has to wait.

[will2survive]

It makes me sick that Piazza wasn't 1st ballot. Also, Bonds was good enough to get in without the roids. Really sucks what PED's and poor decisions have done to such a great sport and accomplishment.

[will2survive]

Schilling might get sympathy vote for cancer and money loss. In essence, he should get in but won't. Also, how does Jeff Kent not get more votes for all of the good offensive years that he had at 2nd base?

[t-wizzle]

He gets in with ease.
