So why do people poh-poh Walsh? The White Sox' pitcher?

Don't bother with that slot for Schilling - he only gets in on days he buys an admission ticket.

Please don't lump Walsh in with Freddy Lindstrom - Walsh actually belongs in the Hall.

We don't need to change anything except for getting rid of the veterans committee which has long since outlived its usefulness. There are 30-40 players that belong in their team's HOF but not the Cooperstown HOF that have made it in through the back door.

As for Belle - yes he has nice looking numbers for 10 years, but I don't agree that he compares to Kiner - Kiner put up his numbers in an era which wasn't overtly offensive - Belle put up his during the hr/run explosion of the 90's. Numbers don't mean the same as they once did - we'll soon be faced with some players getting to 500 HR that don't deserve induction.
