    Absolutely! He's truly a class act and I wish he'd stayed in Seattle!

        He has been up and down..He has thrown his tantrums. But, he has been good for the game and loved it like nothing else...

          Nice guy, not HOF achievements as a manager and definitely not as player.

            While everybody respects "sweet" Lou - he just doesn't have HOF #'s

              14th all time in managerial wins, above .500 career, a world series title. And a classy guy to boot.

              As a manager, he should be a cinch. Look at all the places he has been. He has won (not a World Series) but won and developed young playe

                Danny Murtaugh deserves election before Piniella.

                  SWEET Lou was great for baseball - love him or hate him - but he just doesn't have the numbers for the HOF - 19 years without a title weighs hard.

                    bballfan - become knowledgable in baseball and you will realize that piniella led the reds to a title in 1992. i agree 19 years without a title weighs hard; fortunately for lou, he doesn't have that burden.
