Why Mike Mussina should be in the HOF

The best pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles in the 1990s was Mike Mussina. With the O's he posted a 3.53 ERA and got over 150 Wins. He did the same when he joined the Yankees in 2001. He is a 5x All Star Selection and a 7x Gold Glove award winner. He dominated during the steroid era, and had a great presence on the mound. This is his first year on the Hall Of Fame ballot, and there is a lot of competition. In review, you need 75% of voters to nominate you to be elected. Another factor that might stop Mussina from being elected is this years competion. Aces like Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine hit the ballot this year and catching great ( who I so desperately want to make it in this year, and he played for my Mets) Mike Piazza. Other batters like Jeff Bagwell, Frank Thomas and Craig Biggio should make it in. You have 15 Years to make the Hall of Fame before you get "kicked off" the ballot. If Mussina dosent make it this year I presume he will make it in when the competition isn't so great.
