Piazza, Griffey Jr. are deserving Hall of Famers even without rings | Lucas

It's the age-old question in sports. Which is more important to an athlete, team accomplishments or individual glory?

Would you rather be just one of 25 on the roster of such legendary teams as the 1986 Mets and 1998 Yankees? Or would you prefer to bask in the individual spotlight of accomplishments like Roger Maris' 61 home runs in a season or Tom Seaver's 3,640 career strikeouts?

Is the ring the thing? Or is the Hall of Fame the name of the game?

This Sunday, Ken Griffey, Jr. and Mike Piazza will be inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame.
