He wasn't selected for the committee vote. How do they intend to do that?

Yes, it would seem that they do NOT agree.

Garvey was considered in 2020 and 2018, Mattingly, McGriff and Palmeiro this year, Will Clark in 2019. It seems that they think there are several modern 1B more deserving. Which does not make them right, but I don't see how this committee that it is not putting him on the ballot is going to "fix" this mistake the writers made of not sorting BBREF by WAR.

On December 3, a whole heckuva lot of Albert Belle, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Dale Murphy, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling rookie cards are going to be bought up on eBay.

I myself bought a bunch of Albert belle score traded for dirt cheap

Curt Schilling’s rookie might rise all the way to some sales at 75 cents for a week.
