In my opinion, this does nothing to help the deserving players get in. As long as there are HOF members on the committees that don't seem to care, like McCovey, or that think the Hall should be closed immediately afer they got in (Gossage and Niekro) you'll never get the 75 percent needed. How about only letting ex players/writers etc on a committee if they actually played against/with or covered for the media the player in question? If there is nobody that fits that criteria, then the historians would fill the committee.
