There certainly seems to be a lot of backlash to the HOF admitting seventeen members at the same time by special committee vote. Time will tell but these recent entrants to the Hall may one day be seen as no different than players who gain entry by regular ballot. Perhaps in the long run they will be viewed as the same as regular ballot inductees rather than similar to veteran committee selections, managers, umpires, journalists and other special entry members who are honored in Cooperstown. Like Chad said, in twenty-five years maybe it will not matter.
