Joe Morgan? You can make an argument he shouldn't even be in the hall of fame.

He strung together a few amazing years surrounded by mostly ordinary ones. He might be the 3rd best 2nd baseman behind Hornsby and Carew but 2nd base being a notoriously weak position throughout MLB's history his inclusion in the Hall is something I agree with, but he's not even a top 50 mlb player never mind top 20 which is what we are talking about now. I'll await your response with your next clever name call.

How is Pete Rose not in this? Are y'all eliminating him b/c of the incident?
