I want the Big Hurt in to the HoF on the first ballot. He'll be hurt by being a DH for a large part of his career, but he (along with Griffey) was the best hitter of his era -- assuming you compare him to other untarnished hitters.
Throw Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, Palmeiro in there and the case for Hurt isn't as crystal clear as it should be.
