If I may throw in some Greek mythology here, Mount Olympus was meant only for the Gods…not above average warriors and what not. To me, Cooperstown represents the absolute best of the best. It should be reserved for the unquestionably greatest players of all time and no less. With that in mind, players like Hank Aaron, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and on and on weren't even unanimously elected. How pathetic is that?? Some people found them unworthy of selection?? How could anyone defend that stance?? This illustrates the fact that Hall of Fame voters will always have their dumb axes to grind and will never simply examine the true worthiness of players since they are allowed to freely interject their personal biases into the process.
