I don't care how many are in - it's the quality that bugs me.
1996 was a great year for voting - they couldn't come up with a single person to elect, yet six of the ones voted on eventually made it. What does that say? Choices in future years were so awful that they eventually felt compelled to let these guys in anyway? Uggh.
One year Jim Kaat was way ahead of Blyleven, yet Blyleven eventually got voted in?
