It's a very good list and certainly much better than that of the Senior Committee. What would you say if we dropped Benton, Budde and Jackson and replaced them with Dave Grayson, George Kunz and George Christensen?

if anybody can think of three more names i could add to this list after the 3 seniors for 2023 get nominated elected Let me know

Though you dont support Isbell, Nobis or Craig making the HOF Andy, they along with Dilweg and Gradishar still represent five of the remaining eight members of the Blue Ribbon Panel's finalist list from 2020 and could get elected these next three years with hopefully, Lewellen, Emerson and Wistert(leftovers) making the semifinals in that timeframe. Hopefully, Howley and Meador could get elected ahead of Isbell, Nobis or Craig ... We will see

hypothetically brian what if one year they picked three super seniors what would you think

[Brian wolf]

It would be great Robert but I am hopeful its at least one per year. That may be a miracle with these voters. I consider super-seniors players that mostly played before 1960, though players like Howton, Jim Ray Smith, Tunnell and others played further into the decade.

[TanksAndSpartans]

A super senior to me is a player who played before WWII. Every decade has snubs, but in my opinion, the '50s i.e. the golden era is pretty well represented in the HOF.
