    Agreed. I can’t wait to hear their reasons why they voted to keep him out.

    Would that one vote make Jeter better than Ruth or Mays?

    Nope but you know it’s a bad ballot when you are The only one out of a couple hundred people to vote that way

    It is the cockamamie sports writers who make this an issue.  Agree that an obvious choice should get in.  Who cares about making them wait, or that they didn't give you an interview.  Someone with overwhelming case should get voted in by everyone.
    If only it were that simple...
    You sure love that word today!
    Ha.  It is a cock sort of day, I guess.  Jeter's swordsmanship made an impression on us all.


    What did you do with your Jeets parting gift basket the next morning?

    I agree with this voting though. They set the precedent. You know there's some sort of secret communication about who it is. Jeter is not more deserving than some of the previous greats who went in the last few years that weren't unanimous. It's stupid, but it's what they've been doing.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Like you said, it’s stupid. You’re arguing for something you think is stupid

    My point is, don't do it for Jeter. It would have been really maddening if Jeter and Rivera were the only unanimous votes on record. I'm sure it's a dreamy moment for Yankees fans, but a huge fuck you to everyone else over the years. I can agree on Rivera, but not Jeter. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I’m gonna guess Baltimore or Oakland.
  • Anybody else think that 5-6 people get in next year?
  • Congrats to Larry Walker.  He got the short end of the stick for playing in Colorado though.  
    Was he Hall worthy?  I don't think so.

    Next year if I had 10 votes they would go like this
    Soriano
    Vizquel *
    Petite
    Sosa *
    Clemens *
    Bonds *
    Jones *
    Ramirez *
    Kent
    Schilling

    The * is for whom I think is deserving though.

    Schilling and finally Bonds and Clemens.

    Schilling in the Hall? Compiler with good postseason numbers and a dipshit of epic proportions.

    He's gonna make it but agree that his spot on the jackass scale is near the top.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Off field shouldn't have anything to do with on field.

    I don't think he is Hall worthy but the flood gates seem to be open for good players now...

    His post season accomplishments set him apart from other pitchers with similar regular season numbers.
    Success on the biggest stage has to count for something, otherwise we'd have a HOF filled with folks like Harold Baines.
