I guess you have to recall that for a long time, and even now, baseball players go straight to minor league and sometimes the bigs.

College has not always been a route they take, and is still not the only route and likely not the majority route.

Here is the list, it does not include college affiliation

Does not include Bo Jackson either.   :naughty:

It does include Frank Thomas

Bo didn?t play long enough. Palmiero would be in if not for the roids. Tim Hudson is borderline, but probably won?t make it. Vandy has a few active guys who are tracking to get in. Still hard to believe that LSU, MSU and UF have been so good for so long but haven?t produced a HOFer.

I can't believe how low the vote count % was for some of the all-time greats. Joe DiMaggio only got 88 % of the votes when he made it.
