Poz on HOF Candidates

Good stuff as only Joe can.  I like the one on Jack Morris.

***

By the way, after Jack Morris is off the ballot, who will become the polarizing figure that the new-age would ignore, but the old-guard will trumpet?  Lee Smith?  I think he’s stuck at his 45% level.  Once Morris off the ballot, is the war over?  The closest I think will be David Wells among the newcomers.  But, given who he is up against (Clemens, RJ, Maddux, Pedro, Schilling, Mussina, Smoltz, Glavine), I don’t think he has a prayer of getting the Morris-love, even though, really, Wells, Morris, and Moyer are probably three peas in a pod.
