Here's a (conspiracy) tangent for ya...
Have a think about this one. One of the previous posts mentioned that if we go a few years without a worthy inductee, so be it.
I submit to the Board that we will never see another year with zero player inductees.
Reason: Induction Weekend is now too important to Cooperstown's local economy, and to simply not have it, and cancel a dozen or more of what are now thought to be annual related events would be somewhat crippling.
I think this is actually a strong enough reason as to introduce the thought process that the voting might be tinkered with if a year full of marginal players results in no one getting the required minimum - and then having a few adjustments made...
We will see. I could be proven wrong as soon as this afternoon!
