Congrats to Rich “Goose” Gossage on his election into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2008.  This was well deserved since Gossage was able to succeed in at a time when when relievers when 2-3 innings per outing. 

I commend the Committee for keeping the election to the Baseball Hall of Fame very difficult.  I look at the rest of the list and see several very good players on this list that were not elected.  Other thane maybe Jim Rice, Andre Dawson, and Jack Morris I do not see any player that put together great numbers consistantly throughout their careers.  I think Jack Morris is one of the best “big game” pitchers ever and he has 4 Wrold Series rings to show for it.  Despite pitching in some of the biggest games in the postseason, he never won the Cy Young award and yet still fell short of election this year.
