In MY opinion, as long as there are deserving players who DID NOT cheat who aren't in, those bums should NEVER get in. But, you are entitled to your opinion...but you are, of course, wrong. .

Ted Simmons and Marvin Miller
The Hall has two new members after this committee vote.
Interesting that veteran catcher Simmons was more well regarded than our board seemed to think. 21 seasons of being pretty good can get you in the Hall now. I liked Ted as a player , and don’t mind that he got voted in, but I don’t recall anything dominant about his game. That skill is usually observed in Hall of Famers. The 1971 Topps set adds another card moved to the HOF column...

Ted was the best hitting catcher of his era, Bench hit very well in big moments but day-to-day Simba was the man! He now held in high reverence by baseball insiders as the best talent judge in the game. A true gentleman too.

Comparing Simmons to Bench...interesting...certainly never thought of that.
