There are some people that probably should be in the Hall of Fame, but they're not for some reason.

I'm not really a popular fan of the whole Hall of Fame thing. I've had a lot of ups and downs, and I don't feel deserving a lot of times.

I thought the Hall of Fame was for superstars, not just average players like me.

But what I'd really like to tell you is I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame. Standing here with all these great players was beyond any of my dreams.

It's rare that anybody gets in the Hall of Fame, and to be nominated is good enough for me.

I think Ray Guy and John Madden for sure should be in the Hall of Fame and Cliff Branch should be as well.

I don't want to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think owners should be.

When I started playing the game of baseball, the more I played and the better numbers I got, the more I started thinking about the Hall of Fame. But I never thought I had a chance to be there.

Guys get voted into the Hall of Fame who don't belong, who lack the numbers. I'm very upset at the Hall of Fame for that. It's not fair to the people who went in early.

It would mean a lot to me to get into the Hall of Fame, to be grouped with some of the greatest players in history.
