Re: And your HOF Veteran's pick(s) are...

Congratulations, Joe Gordon.

Long overdue.

Graduated from the same High School as Heisman Trophy Winner and ONLY College Athlete to win the Sports' Illustrated Sportsman-of-the-Year, Terry Baker, and the same High School as Mel Renfro, Baker's High School Teammate, and many other pro athletes.

When Gordon retired, he was the All-Time Homerun Leader for Second Basemen, but he was most famous for his outstanding defensive play. AL MVP of 1942, 9-Time All-Star, and 5-time World Champion with both Cleveland and the Yankees. 1/2 of the only trade that was ever Manager-for-Manager, and in exactly 1000 career games with the Yankees he had exactly 1000 hits.

Way to go, Joe. He was also Joe Dimaggio's roomate for many years.
