    Unquestionably yes, of course.

    He does, but I voted borderline just because he has really hit his stride in the last few years with Pacman. Nowadays people talk about hall of fame right after the guy has a few years of success.

    He's indeed a lock, the question is how soon? His relative youth at 51 could hold him back for a little time, but we'll see. A first ballot induction wouldn't surprise me.

    Hopefully he gets straight in. But it should be just a matter of when for Freddie. Interestingly not one person here has voted no in the poll so far.

    It is the Trainers HOF we are talking about; not the Trainers´ ATG

    .... thus, Roach belongs
