Baseball Hall Of Fame election

[packs]

There are plenty of deserving Cuban and Negro League players. I hope the special committees continue. They will only be successful however if they are made up of the right people. There's no excuse for having people like Phil Neikro and Bobby Cox decide whether or not Harry Stovey or Bill Dahlen are HOFers. They know nothing. It should strictly be limited to baseball historians.

Rube Foster? You know he was inducted in 1981.

I paraphrased Hall and Oates on my Twitter: The committee is out of touch but the snubs are never out of time.

At least you didn't say you were waiting on Ruth and Gehrig!

I like how the only research he did was on wiki and he based his vote on that.

There is a good case to be made for Maris as well. Would be a shame for him to be forgotten. He had a really decent carrier and took down a record many believe would stand forever.
