I think the fact that everyone names the same few players as "don't belong" is a sign that the vast majority of those in DO belong.
And the HOF standard is actually going UP...before Baines, when was the last "bad" selection? And when was the last bad selection from the writers?
People who think the hall "used to stand for greatness" weren't paying attention, the watering down didn't start when you were an adult, it didn't start when you were 8-12 years, old...it started in the late 30's and 40's (apologies to anyone over 83 reading this).
