Because he was on the ballot last year. Needing 12 of 16 members to vote for him, he received 6 or fewer votes.

George Steinbrenner should be in the Hall.

The man had a passion to win, and took the Yankees from an afterthought to Series champions. Love him or hate him, he was great for the game, New York, and an example for other owners who don't seem to care at all how their team fares.

Strike One: Winfield/Howard Spira.
Strike Two: Illegal presidential campaign contribution, which led to...
Strike Three: Knocked him off the IOC committee.

However, he did receive a presidential pardon.

I am sorry Paul, but I'm not following. ?

I will look up the connection with Winfield and Spira, however do the other points exclude entry to the Hall?

Obviously I do not know the details so I'm asking.

I think Barry Bonds should be elected. He was an incredible baseball player.

Hey Lou, Coming from a lifelong Yankees fan (me), my feeling is that it's about George's overall behavior. Nothing excludes anybody into the HOF, except what the voters think.

However, if Selig can get in with his looking the other way during the steroid era, then I think you have a valid point.

It blows my mind that Steinbrenner's indiscretions would keep him out of the HOF but a guy like Tom Yawkey was suitable for induction.
