The results are in, Bluebird Banter readers would elect Mike Piazza, Tim Raines, Craig Biggio, Larry Walker and Jeff Bagwell to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

First of all, I'm sure Raju Mudhar is a nice man, and I'm sure people like what he does as the Toronto Star's consumer technology reporter. I am not trying to say he is a bad journalist or that he...

Finally made it to the end of the ballot. I'm skipping: Rondell White, even though he was a favorite of mine, as a former Expo. He had a good career, 15 seasons, a .284/.336/.462 line, with 198...

I'm going to skip Todd Walker. He had a good bat, for a middle infielder, hitting .289/.348/.435 with 107 home runs and 545 RBI over 12 seasons. Good player, not a Hall of Famer. David Wells was...

Larry Walker is another former Expo on the Hall of Fame ballot and a Canadian too. He had a 17 year career, the first 6 with the Expos, then 9 and a half with the Rockies and a season and a half...

Next on the ballot would be left-handed reliever Mike Stanton, who pitched for 18 seasons as a setup man/LOOGY and one as a closer. He had a 3.92 ERA, 84 saves, 420 walks, 895 strikeouts in 1114...

There is the same argument against Sammy Sosa as there is for roughly half the guys on this year's ballot. Sammy hit .273/.344/.634 with 609 home runs, 1667 RBI, in 2354 games over 18 seasons. Y...

Next on the ballot is Aaron Sele, who was a perfectly decent starting pitcher, has a 148-112 record with a 4.61 ERA in 15 seasons in the majors. He pitched in 2 All-Star games and finished 3rd in...

Next in the list is Reggie Sanders, who had a nice career, much better than I had thought. He has a .267/.343/.487 line, with 305 home runs, 983 RBI, 304 stolen bases in 1777 games. Nice career,...

Tim Raines is one of my all-time favorite players. He really should be in the Hall. He was the second best lead off hitter of his era, likely the second best lead off hitter of all-time....
