I’m a Sox fan, but I have no problem with Lee Smith being elected. He is still number three on the all time saves list and was the all time leader for over ten years after he retired.

Smith had a lot of saves but I remember him more for coming in the 9th inning and the opposition always hitting a home run against him.
Also the HOF will never be the HOF until Pete Rose is inducted. He played the game the way I would like to see every player play the game.
If you allow the gamblers then you allow the steroid freaks. IMHO, Hank Aaron is still the home run champ. What Bonds tacked on ,at the end of an already Hall of Fame career, doesn’t really count because he cheated. I understand that the gambling doesn’t have any bearing on Rose or Jackson’s numbers but those are the rules of admission.Joe Jackson ... then Pete.
Nope, neither...never.Joe Jackson ... then Pete.
No it doesn't that is a typical Sox fan thought. Lee Smith spent many more years pitching elsewhere and won more accolades elsewhere. Just stop.I'm very happy about this honor; also, it annoys Cub fans that Lee Smith has to share the limelight.

Is that true? None of my Cub fan friends have even mentioned that. They are just talking about Smith, who I feel belongs.I'm very happy about this honor; also, it annoys Cub fans that Lee Smith has to share the limelight.
