Any sportswriter that refuses to vote for any player in their first year of eligability needs to have thier voting priveledge revoked. I also don't understand how a player is worthy one year, but not another. A career is not like fine wine. I doesn't get better with age. And the player cannot improve his numbers.

If they truely wanted to make the HOF elite, they need to change the rules so that you are eligable 5 years after retirement and you are on the ballot only once. If you don't get elected, then that is how things go. It would also make these clowns that won't vote for someone the first year vote for these players. The verterance committee needs to be done away with too. There are only about 5 or 6 major leaguers left that worthy. The rest are boarder line. I am also sure that there still a number of Negro LEaguers that need to be in.
