Seems to be we keep giving players opportunities until those voting forget said player was good enough to be elected in the first place.
And Miller being on the ballot is a joke. He was a labor leader and never set foot on the field. It is bad enough that umps, owners, and commissioners are in.
Putting down the mic and humbly getting off my soap box. I thank you for wasting a minute to read my opinion.

I almost completely agree with you here, except IMO, I do think Garvey is HOF-worthy. Garvey was one of the most reliable players in the '70s and early '80s. To me, he's just like Mattingly: I don't know why these reliable and productive players have been snubbed. I agree with you on Santo though. Was never really impressed with him.
