Some players who didn't make the cut for the 2005 class included relief pitcher Bruce Sutter (66.7%), outfielder Jim Rice (59.5%), reliever Rich "Goose" Gossage (55.2%), outfielder Andre Dawson (52.3%) and pitchers Bert Blyleven (40.9%), Lee Smith (38.8%), Jack Morris (33.3%) and Tommy John (23.8%).
Regarded as one of the most superstitious players in baseball history and maybe the greatest two-strike hitter of all-time, Boggs woke up at the same time each morning and would only eat chicken before each game, thus earning the nickname "Chicken Man" by Rice, his former Red Sox teammate.

I have mixed feeling about Sutter and Smith — I’m still not sure how to judge the Hall-worthiness of relief pitchers, but in general I do think that both Sutter and Smith shouldn’t be in before Goose Gossage, and once Eck is eligible (next year), he jumps ahead of them as well.
Baseball Reference card, 6 of the 10 most similar players are HoF eligible.
Also, in Sandberg’s case, it’s worth noting that he was one of the first players to play second base and put up the type of offensive numbers we see today.

Given that there are now 209 players in the Hall who were elected as players, either by the writers or veterans, if the given player is ranked among the top 209 all-time, one would think that he would fit in at the Hall, Pete Rose notwithstanding.
Note that of the 17 new names peppering the 2003 ballot, all but four—Sandberg, Smith, Valenzuela, and Eddie Murray, who was elected—were dropped for failing to meet the 5% criterion, i.e., that a player receive 5% of the vote to remain on the ballot for subsequent elections.
These are generally speaking players who did many things well but their achievements did not necessarily translate into the countable stats that voters love.
