HOF vote in

I think there already is a disproportinate amount of players from PRE WAR that are already in the HOF. Instead of campaigning to get more pre war guys in, there should be a focus on not letting anymore in as there are plenty from that era already. No need to add more that don't merit it.

Remember fellas, just because one becomes familiar with a name from back then because one collects cards from that era, that doesn't mean those guys should be HOFers. However, if there is legitimate unbias and OBJECTIVE reasoson for inclusion, based on valid measurement tool, then that is a different story.

Even though Sutter is a very big question mark, and Gossage and BLYLEVEN are certainly much more deserving from Sutter's own era, I don't mind getting more guys in from that era, as that was simply the most competitive era in the history of the game, and the absolutely TOUGHEST era to dominate your peers.

I never ran the proper percentages on proportion of Hall of Famers from each era, compared to that of the important factors of the era, but my estimate is that the pre war would have a very high percentage already. I could be wrong as I haven't officially checked, but knowing that the pre war guys are all artificially high on the stats lists, I'm pretty positive the HOFers are artifically high as well.

P.S. RP or SP is the same thing, a pitcher. A pitchers job is to prevent runs, which leads to wins. There are ways of measuring the proper value of each...more on that another day.
