First ballot use to be reserved for the legends of the game. Ruth only got what 86%. Babe Ruth for crissakes.
No way Biggio is a first ballot HOF'r if thats the bar that was set before. You can make an argument that is BS and I would agree but baseball loves tradition and change moves slowly.
I think Griffey Jr and Jeter will be the only first ballot HOF'r from the the steroid era.
