My biggest gripe is Piazza. The greatest offensive catcher of all time. Never convicted of anything. No scandals. Never implied in a PED investigation. No weird stats, like hitting more HR after age 33 than before.
I'm sorry, but leaving him out on unsubstantiated suspicions alone is unfair.

Rhys,
I agree but I don't think it's the "first yr" thing. I think it's because no one has ever been elected unanimously. I think there will always be a few voters who won't vote for guys because if guys like Ruth, Williams, Cobb, Young, etc weren't elected unanimously, no newer guys should be either.
I wonder if Maddux or Glavine will use "Chicks dig the long ball" in their speech.
Best,
Mark
