Marc S.Well -- I think that too many "borderline" Hall of Famers have been elected in the past 10 - 20 years, so if the standard is unreasonable tight for a decade or so, I think it will stop the flow of complaints of the Hall of Fame being too "watered down".
There have just been too many weak elections in the past years to really justify having such an "easy" standard. It will be nice to have one or two people elected per year -- all with stellar stats without being a questionable election (i.e. Buddies on the Veterans' Committee).
