The HOF also represents and preserves the history of women in baseball, the Negro Leagues, barnstorming, baseball abroad, and the executives, announcers, and other baseball personalities that have made the game a game enjoyed in this country by everyone in it for over 150 years. How is that an irrelevant HOF?

Agree and thank you for this post. BTW, I'm quite proud of my HOF card collection. Just purchased a Crime Dog rookie last night!
