Historically, there are about 35 players active at any given time who go on to become Hall of Famers.
On the eve of the official announcement of the Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2011, I thought I’d share my votes here, as well as explain my justifications for each.

It was a daunting task, but I managed to narrow my list of the greatest baseball players not in the Hall of Fame down to 50.
Through discussion here on the Pine, help me decide on my top 50. Share your top 5, top 10, top 20 or just a few names that you think are glaring omissions.
