Default HOF Results

Posted By: Bob

One of the 2 blank ballots sent in was by a sports writer who said he's not voting for anyone from the steroid era until the dust settles and we see who did and who didn't. Not saying I agree with him, that's just what he said.
I remember reading that when Babe Ruth was up the first time, a couple of writers didn't vote for him because they said he was one dimensional and could only slug. What a bunch of morons, ignoring the fact he saved the game after the Black Sox and also was a helluva pitcher.
BTW Tom Seaver's 98.8% vote is the highest ever although not one person here would say he was the greatest pitcher ever (I don't think)....
