FOXSports.com - MLB - Boggs voted into Hall on first ballotYeah, yeah, he was both a Yankee and a Red So(ck?), but this Mets fan has to hand it to him; he just hit and hit and hit and hit and hit. Not a shabby fielder either.I also like that he was of the O. C. D. persuasion: apparently he would eat chicken prepared the same exact way every day of the baseball season. Ryne Sandberg got in too. He, like Cal Ripken, broke the mold for players at his position. He hit for power, and this was a rare thing back then. . .not since Rogers Hornsby did a 2b'er possess the offensive skills that Sandberg had. Ah, but I believe SAndberg could also run; not sure though. . .I have to check on that. Oh, yeah Mofo could really field also. . .sweet to watch on the DP. Now lets get Lyle and Gossage in there. They were firemen who put out fires, not specialists who rescued kitties from trees.
