This policy some voters have of ALWAYS voting against first-year candidates has to stop. Yeah, I get it. Some moron voted against Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson, so you voted against Maddux. You're still retarded.

Biggio and Piazza should be in already.

I'm an NL guy. I don't like the designated hitter, but the DH is part of the game. Sooner or later you're going to have to vote them in. Relief pitchers went through the same problem...

the "you didnt get enough votes you're never eligible again" thing really grinds my gears.

Kenny Lofton played until he was 40. 622 stolen bases, 2400+ hits, .299 career average, 6 time all star, 4 gold gloves. he's never eligible again because he didn't get X votes last year.

It's too bad Jack Morris got shut out again, this was his last year of eligibility.

I need to get some sleep. I keep reading the title as MILFs at IHOP and think it might be something I'd be interested in.

For anyone who's interested, here's an excellent article on the role of the baseball press during the steroid era.

how can you have a last year of eligibility for something like the hall of fame? that just makes no sense, no sense at all..

maybe someone needs to start up their own hall of fame... with hookers.. and beer...
