The baseball hof is a ****ing joke with this shit. They act like you must sqeaky clean to grace their hall. There were no rules cocerning supplements and no testing but somehow its suppose to matter now. NFl is almost as bad allowing guys to be eligible until they are dead. If you didn't get in the first twenty tries you should never get in.

Too many people today are referred to as "Great"' when in reality, they're not. This year's class had holes everywhere and I applaud the integrity of the voters. Now, if Chipper Jones and Derek Jeter and Griffey, Jr. aren't first ballot guys, I'll sing a different tune. But today's voting was just fine. |

[QUOTE=DaneMcCloud;9301415]I disagree.

Baseball had a problem as a whole and now we are going to punish players with HOF denials. Its stupid and a worthless thing to do. Like still keeping Rose out. Baseball voters are so snotty.

Rose admitted to betting on baseball. Eight men were suspended for life back in the early 1920's, so Rose knew the consequences. If Rose hadn't been a Major League manager while betting on baseball, no one would care. But how can you justify a guy putting a guy in the Hall that bet on games, and possibly affecting their outcome, for his own personal (and financial) gain? |

I'm OK with the fact that no one's going in this year. If this happens occasionally it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's not as if there's a quota.
It's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of "I Guess This Guy Was The Best Of The Bunch Who Happened To Retire Five Years Ago". |
