I would like to take a totally different approach to this topic (as I often do) and suggest it is time to start kicking people out of the Hall of Fame. How can you immortalize Bill Mazeroski and Bobby Doerr alongside Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner? These are two different tiers of players. I think it is time for the Hall to start calling up the descendants of these marginal HOFers and say: "Hello, Mrs. McCarthy? This is the Hall of Fame calling and we've decided that your great-grandfather Tommy is being kicked out. You have 72 hours to pick up his belongings or we are consigning them to a major auction house." Tongue-in-cheek, of course, but the Hall has too many members, many who seem to be suspect choices.
