How many of today's players will make it into the Hall of Fame?

Question

Frenchy LaRue. Your a r****d.

Answer 1

50

Answer 2

maybe 10 players

Answer 3

If the historical trend holds true, a little less than 1%.

Since there are 750-800 players on the major league active rosters and disabled lists, figure that 5-8 players in the 2008 season will someday win election.

Answer 4

Greg Maddux

Randy Johnson

Frank Thomas

Manny Ramirez

Ken Griffey Jr.

Mariano Rivera

Jim Thome

Albert Pujols

Ichiro Suzuki

Gary Sheffield

Alex Rodriguez

Ivan Rodriguez

That's all I can think of right now

Answer 5

Chip is a little off, I think.  It is more like about 2% of guys who get more than a cup of coffee.  That would put the number at about a dozen plus.

However, it is safe to assume that 2 or 3 are so new that they are not even on our radar yet.

I must add that Chip almost always has intelligent and thoughtful answers, so he may be right.
