No Gibwok on the poll?

Coin flip between Rose, Brown and Brown on who should be there.

I went with Rose. He would be the most nationally recognizable face on it and his accomplishments on the field are probably the hardest to argue against. Plus I like baseball.

Are you sure about that? I voted for Larkin as well and he still only has 1 vote.

Not as many OSU fans on here as you'd think, and even less, I'd wager, on this forum.

Also not that many OSU fans who grew up watching Woody.

Thadumbass

Btw, my issue with Rose and the reason I didn't vote for him is because he is only recognized as a good player due to his longevity.

I don't think that's the only reason he's recognized as a good player, but it's probably the biggest reason due to compiling 4256 hits. He would still have HOF numbers if you threw out his last 5 or 6 (maybe a couple more) seasons.

According to baseball-reference his black ink HOF monitor for his career is 64 (14th all time) and the average black ink for a HOFer is 27. He had a 58 through his age 37 season.

That was sarcasm. I don't think you were around when gut made this argument. I am just poking fun at him. Rose is clearly is a HOF caliber player.

Well don't I feel silly.
