It still bothers me that he won his only World Series with the Yankees and not with us, but that 93 Jays team, well, they were pretty good. And they had Rickey.

Raines will always be viewed as a very good player (along the same lines as Jack Morris), but a lot of votes will never view him as one of baseball's elite despite the stats he put up during his career that would put him right there. Maybe Rickey will add in something about how Rock should be in the HOF during his induction speech. "Now, Rickey believe that Rickey's good friend Tim Raines should be here on Rickey's induction day because Rickey think that Rock is as good of a player as Rickey, even though Rickey is the greatest of all time. Thank you." Rock is a perfect example of why perception goes such a long way HOF voting.
