This is ridiculous. Maybe they don't want to vote for undeserving players. It is the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of above average or Hall of cheaters. I think it is dumb to vote for 10 just because you can. The HOF should be for the best of the best. It is already too watered down.

Agree. Should be you can vote for up to 10. When I see who the 9th and 10th voters are for some of these guys is absurd.

I also agree.


Andy, thanks for sharing - keeping track as the votes become known is fun...


although, the old traditional announcements frequently occurred on my birthday - and I will miss that.

well the problem is that by limiting it to ten you can end up where we are now, logjammed. If they gave them a simple "yes/no" ballot and took guys off after 5 years then we could clear the jams and probably have simple 1-2 guys getting in each year .
