Bonds and Clemens both deserve to be in the hall IMO.

I used to be against Bonds, Clemens and Palmiero getting in the HOF but now that we have a known PED cheater in, its unfair to keep them out.
McGriff should get in, Belle and Schilling are deserving but probably do not get in. |

My understanding is that there are 16 voters, who get a maximum of 3 votes each. This leads to a total of 48 votes maximum.
Players must get 75% to get in (i.e. 12 or more of the 16 voters). So at most 4 players can get in (48 divided by 12). Somebody double check my math here, I have not had my morning coffee yet. |

Schilling should get in.

All worthy in their own way that is why they are on list
But with doping, politics, and injuries effecting longevity (Mattingly) they all have questions. McGriff and Shilling should be the Easy in but it will be interesting to see what happens with them and the rest. Look forward to Dec announcement Just wish we knew who the voters were and wish all ballots were made public

McGriff's association with Halle Berry should be worth something.

I don't see any of them as HOFers. Want another Harold Baines fiasco? The HOF is suffering from credibility as it is. Especially Schilling. He shouldn't get in on the strength of being an all-time moron. Right or wrong, that's how I feel.

You're thinking of Dave Justice.

No strike, no PED’s. Let them in!

David Ortiz.
Ortiz himself has confirmed he failed a test. It's not a rumor, it's not "supposedly", etc. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/d...sted-positive/ |

Why not Rose and Joe Jackson?
Using the old arguments are at least hypocritical and at best self serving. Besides, I want a price bump on my Rose collection when he goes into the hall

Because under the current HOF rules a person currently banned by MLB is ineligible for election to the HOF.

Ortiz should not be in while the other better players who may have used as well are not in. If Schilling is not in due to his personality, then the same standard should be applied to every player, and then Dale Murphy should be in due to his personality being exemplary. Nobody is a capable judge on someone else's character unless they see that person's actions 100% of the time and every second of their life. All they see is an incomplete picture either positive or negative. There are a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing and you never really know.

If Ortiz is in, so should Bonds and Clemens and others who were undeniably better than Ortiz but kept out for being guilty of the same crime he is. Schilling being kept out as a political enemy is just as bad. If Schilling was an asshole who shared a meme joke about hanging Oath Keepers or whatever-the-boogeyman-of-the-day is, he would be voted in with little comment (actually, he'd probably be lauded for his 'brave stand'). It's not his 'personality', it's his personality as a political enemy. The writers used to treat the Hall as a baseball accomplishment; they no longer are. Perhaps one day we can return to rationality. |
