The announcement of the 2014 Hall of Fame ballot revealed a bevy of worthy candidates. The great Braves tandem of Maddux and Glavine are clearly going to sail in, but many others—in our view—
also deserve induction. Without getting into the tedious arguments for and against, here are our choices for the Hall (if we actually had a vote): 1.)
Greg Maddux, 2.) (Billerica's)
Tom Glavine, 3.)
Frank Thomas, 4.)
Curt Schilling, 5.)
Lee Smith, 6.)
Edgar Martinez, 7.)
Tim Raines, 8.)
Alan Trammel. While we can also see strong cases for
Mike Piazza and
Jack Morris, we're keeping our choices down to these elite eight.
