  ... and how could anybody NOT be looking forward to Rickey Henderson's speech next year? Gotta be one of the most highly anticipated (entertaining?) speeches ever.

  His induction speech...
  
  "Hello, thank you all for coming to Rickey Henderson's induction ceremony, including the other people who got in, too. It's an honor to be up here to represent you all--uh, what? They're gonna get to talk, too? Why? Rickey Henderson thought this was Rickey Henderson Day? Anyway, Rickey Henderson thanks you again. You know, when Rickey Henderson was playing, he was the one that everyone wanted to see, including Rickey Henderson. People would tell Rickey Henderson that Rickey Henderson was the reason they went to the ballpark. Rickey Henderson already knew that, but it was still good to hear. Uh, what? Why does Rickey Henderson keep referring to Rickey Henderson as Rickey Henderson? Rickey Henderson has no idea what you are referring to. So in conclusion, Rickey Henderson appreciates that you have come out to the Hall of Rickey Henderson to celebrate Rickey Henderson's special day. Rickey Henderson will now give the podium to the runners-up. Thank you."

  << <i>Oh what could've been if not for the steroids allegations. The HOF Class of 2013 could have been ...
  
  1. Barry Bonds
  2. Sammy Sosa
  3. Roger Clemens
  4. Mike Piazza
  5. Craig Biggio
  
  But with the steroids allegations, probably only Piazza and Biggio. Of course, if there weren't any steroid allegations, Bonds, Sosa and Clemens might still be playing. (Well, maybe not Sosa.)

  All 5 will be in the HOF, maybe not in the same year, but eventually.

  I didn't realize how impressive Sosa's stats are, regardless of how many bats he corked or how much juice he pumped.

  The HOF vote will become and should biased toward the era. Since this is the steroid era all 5 will be in the HOF.. Biggio and Piazza have the best chance of getting in there first ballot, but based on the era and their contribution to the game during the era all 5 will be there.
