So Boggs and Sandberg are in the Hall of Fame, as they should be. I know there have been misgivings - I think it boils down to “Boggs was a good hitter, but somehow lacked a certain X-factor” - but the 92% vote for Boggs shows most people know what they were seeing. Lord knows why Sandberg was shafted was so long. A power-hitting second baseman (most homers for a 2B till Jeff Kent came along) who could play the pivot - what more do you want?
This must be a banner year: the two most underrepresented positions in baseball get some members into the Hall. Maybe the hangover effect came into play: just as 3Bs seem to be judged against Mike Schmidt, 2Bs might be judged against Joe Morgan - patently high standards that are near-impossible to fulfil.
