Hall of Famers in Tonight's All-Star Game - 07/14/09 05:14 PM
As I was driving into work today, I was listening to Mike and Mike and the last segment I heard before I arrived at work was how there were so many hall-of-famers in the 1971 baseball all-star game. According to M&M, there was 20 players, two managers and one coach in that game that all ended up in the hall of fame (Pete Rose was in the game as well.) My thought was "Wow!"
I didn't get to hear the segment that followed but M&M was going to go through the list of tonight's all star game and see how many potential hall of famers there are in the game. What do you guys think?
Listed below is the list of players from the 1971 game and tonight's game.
