A close associate is on the Reds' Hall of Fame board and wanted me to look over the list of candidates for the next HOF class for the Reds. Anyone before the 70s is well before my time, so wanted to get some suggestions from the board. Who are the top 5 or so guys on this list? TIA!
[of the guys i know, john franco seems like he should be in. gonna say no on bret boone and jeff brantley. rob dibble is close. not sure on that one. reggie sanders and paul o'neill? borderline IMO. no on pokey reese, danny graves, scott sullivan, tom hume.]
