Negro Leaguers in the HOF - Any More?

[triwak]

I would respectfully disagree with the "one last vote" opinion stated earlier. While I agree that eventually any group or era of players will be exhausted of HOF qualifiers, my question would be: Why not let that happen naturally? You just never know how future events might effect historical judgment. Best example of that, is how the current awareness of the steroid scandal has opened eyes on the true value of earlier players who, achieved less gaudy numbers, but did so cleanly. I think the best thing the Hall has done in recent years, with all the voting rule changes, has been to open up the eligibility of ALL players from the past, as long as they played the minimum 10 years (in the majors, Negro Leagues, or combined).
