Many readers have written to the effect of "How could you leave Joe Mauer off your future Hall of Famers list?"
The answer is quite simple actually. I'm an idiot. Just your garden variety, drooling, slack-jawed, knuckle dragging, swing set too close to the house and riding-the-short-bus-to-school inspired oversight.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Best Regards
John
