I'm going to use this thread to vent on a subject that has bothered me for years: It's disappointing (to say the least), that what I consider to be relaxed admission standards, evolving over time, have caused the "Hall of Fame," to morph into the "Hall of the Very Good."

I've yet to see any evidence the standards have been "relaxed".
As a matter of fact, with the larger number of teams today....and a much larger pool of players to choose from, I think the standards have become much tougher.
