It's wrong how Al Oliver has been done by the HOF. He has better numbers then some members who are there now. Vote Al into the HOF !

Al Oliver was an exciting Pirate to watch with a glove or bat and deserves to be rewarded. Put Mr. Oliver in.

I lived in Arlington in the 70's and went to a few Ranger Games (big fan), I can almost recite every player. I also used to play in Al's house while it was being built. Good times

This is an absolute disgrace that Al isn't in the H.O.F. If Ryne Sandberg is in and Al isn't, well then there is something very, very wrong with this picture. Compare the stats...Al Oliver blows him away, period!

He deserves to be in. He was a first ballot. The writers do not know what they are talking about.

Al's career stats and commitment to his community qualities befitting a Baseball Hall of Fame candidate. Mr. Oliver has earned a nod from the committee.

Should have been in the Hall already. Would have had 3000 hits as well if given the opportunity!

I watched Al play for years and copied his swing through a successful college career. He always played the game right and represented MLB in a professional manner. Mike Oliver-No relation
