Class of 2007
Scott Brosius – I never realized this, but apparently Brosius led the 1998 New York Yankees, one of the greatest teams of all time, in win shares. Scholars have yet to determine how the hell this happened.
Wally Joyner – The guy who finished second to Jose Canseco in the 1986 Rookie of the Year voting. Like Canseco, he gave steroids a try, but quit upon discovering that they made him feel icky.
Bobby Witt – Voters were obviously not impressed by his career record of 142-157 and 4.83 earned run average. I was not impressed by the fact that he was not, as originally suspected, Mike Witt’s brother.
Devon White – It’s surprising that nobody threw him a courtesy vote, especially since he was regarded as a great defensive centerfielder. Some observers considered his catch in the 1992 World Series, which nearly resulted in a triple play for the Blue Jays, to be at least equal to Willie Mays’ famed play in 1954.
