After decades of this same basic formulation being instituted despite blatantly obvious corruption only adding to the problem, it is clear there is not soon going to be any kind of reasonable or rational method adopted to pick people for logical reasons. This is a silly farce each year.

We need to stop taking the HOF so seriously because they themselves don’t take it seriously. This year is really a joke.
