New HOF ballot is out; first-timers include: Brady Anderson, Andy Benes, Delino DeShields, Shawon Dunston, Chuck Finley, Travis Fryman, David Justice, Chuck Knoblauch, Mike Morgan, Robb Nen, Tim Raines, Greg Swindell, Randy Velarde, Mark Wohlers.
Other than "Rock" Raines, who was really the NL Rickey Henderson, this is not a group I'm excited about. David Justice was married to Halle Berry- that's enough for any man. Chuck Knoblauch? Be serious. Brady Anderson? When was he good? Maybe this will be Goose Gossage's year. If I got to vote I might go for Jim Rice, too, even though I have said I wouldn't in the past.
