OUT: All the fringe Hall of Famers who got in just because they played for the New York Yankees. NYC is not the center of the baseball world.
IN: Marvin Miller, Buck O’Neil, Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, Edgar Martinez (if a closer can get in then so should a DH).
REVOKED: I would like to see writers who let their own personal agenda get in their way when voting. It is about what they did on the filed and nothing else. NO players has gotten 100% of the votes? There are “average” Hall of Famers and then there are Hall of Fame Hall of Famers. No brainers, if you don’t vote for Babe Ruth then you should lose your vote. How can you justify not voting for a lot of these guys? Rickey Henderson? Ted Williams, etc.. the list goes on and on. In the next few years we are going to have votes not vote for a player becuase they assume that certain players took steriods even though their may not be proof.
