2009 BBW Hall of Fame Vote

Posted By: Ken Wirt

I'm actually one of the rare folks who believes that the HOF voting system has worked pretty well through the years. As problems arose, they adapted, which is completely appropriate. I also am a firm believer in the Veterans committee, realizing that it has changed formats many times. You simply must have some way to judge players with the benefit of hindsight and historical context. And to the idea that the Hall has somehow been diluted, remember the mathematics: only about 300 members divided by the total number of players through the 150 or so years of the game. Compared to other major sporting Halls-of-Fame, Baseball's is by far the most exclusive. This is why I am a HOF card collector.
