I would support that, and a few others too, in order for real HOF caliber players to get in.

Really, though, it's a wonderful upstate New York setting, and I'm sure a wonderful place to visit and all, but does anyone really give a good hoot about the HOF anymore, considering the recent admissions and continued oversights?

The Hall of jacked-up, hyped-up, influenced, irrelevant, statistical Mediocrity.

It’s just a fun exercise in debate and statistics. The museum is a ton of fun, if you’ve never been, regardless of one’s opinion on who should or should not be enshrined. The town around it has shaped itself to the Hall and lots of it is (or at least was) baseball themed and a fun time. It’s set in a myth with a dubious list, but it’s still the coolest baseball place there is to visit. I would really like to see the Negro League Hall in Kansas City too but I’ve never had much else to do there to make the flight.

People talk about this like it's a new problem, but it's been like that since before I was born, and I'm not young.
