Pros: It will give us something new to argue about.

Cons: Some would argue that we have enough as it is.

Criteria would be an exciting element. Someone will need to develop a WAR calculator for posters. Longevity will need to be a factor. But we don't just want accumulators who are posting drivel just to artificially drive up their post counts. Peak years and iconic posts/threads should be a key element.

Maybe it's not as crazy as it sounds?

This hasn't been updated since I had hair on my head, so it's been there a long-time...7th icon from left to right, in the row of icons on each page, towards the top.
Some of Ted's threads are there but just haven't been updated in 13? yrs....

PED testing would be required. The rumor is Ted used coffee to post after 8 pm.

Would buying cards, hoping (betting) they'll go up in value, be considered gambling on baseball cards?

A Rose by any other name...

I already refer to this board to my wife as "the dick swinging board". I can only imagine the implications if a HoF were created.

Of course, we'd need to invent some type of newfangled advanced statistic to use as the only measuring stick to gauge whether or not a member belongs in 'The Hall.'

Perhaps KAR ("Knowledge Above Replacement")? Beep beep!!
