Net 54 Baseball HOF

[z28jd]

I think the best thing to do would be to start with pre-majors and then work your way up by decade. So the first ballot would be the Wright bros, Creighton, Barnes etc. I would do players only first because things like executives, managers, umpires can all be done in large groups.

For the players I would have a little bio on each, even if it is a link and their stats. Then I would open it up for discussion for a couple days, then have the vote. I also think I would go with a less strict standard than the HOF. If you have a group of educated people, who discussed certain players merits, then as long as more than half of the voters say yes, then yes it is. If it's 50% on the dot, then tough luck Tommy McCarthy.

I really never understood the thinking behind 75% of the voters making them a Hall of Famer. If the group that is voting is supposed to be smart enough to cast the votes(we know they aren't all, so play along) then if a majority say they are a HOF'er, they should be in the Hall. What other voting system is there where a majority doesn't win?

Good luck with it, Scott. I'll help out with the bios until the baseball season starts, if you need it.

I'm not interested in an aviation HOF, but we can consider doing that later.

Alright, either Scott isn't taking this serious or he doesn't know who Harry and George Wright are! I say we vote him out as our HOF president right now before he lets Phil Rizzuto in and leaves Buck O'Neil out! Boo this man!
