40 Players Most Likely to be Inducted into Cooperstown

ESPN.com's David Schoenfield makes an attempt... and I must say it is pretty incompetent. Here, you can find 1-20 and 21-40. I mean, the guy has Miguel Cabrera listed above Ken Griffey, Jr. Yes. I am not making this up.

So, can I do it better - YES. Here is my own. I have included links to these players up-to-date career statistics. Let the complaining begin.
