My guess and hope is that you have not bought any votes but I am sure you are enjoying the moment of publicity you are attempting to gain.

The Baseball Hall of Fame is far from a "holy" institution but the Hall's annual selection process is not that flawed.

Take you your feeble attempt at sanctimony to the football board, they have no issues with fraud or class.

My guess is that they don't have a vote but that they are trying to touch off a witch hunt for fun.

Mike,

Are you directing this to the writer of the article? If so, you may want to send that to Deadspin. I simply copied the article from the site for us to discuss here. Unfortunately, I don't think Deadspin is reading Net54...

Not to get off track here, but Mattingly is not a HOF'er, I'm sorry.

Agreed, were he not a Yankee I highly doubt it would ever be the subject of a serious discussion.

Are you next going to buy a vote for a Nobel Prize?

What about an Olympic Judge?

How about the watchers of Court TV be polled in lieu of a jury?

I think it is really awful that someone may have actually allowed you to play with their career/legacy, and you did it.

People who work in the field every day, with detailed knowledge - and time to dedicate - versus whatever ridiculous ill-fated marketing scheme this is - Id take the former.

The Politics of Glory by Bill James provides many interest insights to HOF voting, and is a good read on the subject.

Silliness. The "problem" guys got in due to veterans committee cronyism. BBWA has a much better track record. The issue with the BBWA is the 15 years of being on the ballot. If you're not in within 5 years or so, ya done.
