Hall of Fame Ballot Announced

The HOF should be liquidated and a new organization formed. One that sets baselines for automatic induction. This good ol’ boys system is stupid. Pharmaceutical use should never have been tested for in the first place.

Schilling…. If he was a Democrat he would have been a 1st ballot inductee
Bonds…. Knock 20% off his HR totals for PED use and he’s still in the top 10 all time.

Keep it in the same place, keep the real HOFers in, sweep out all the relatively recent BS, and start over...based solely on performance.

The BS has been going on for at least 50 years--not sure if that still counts as recent. Frankie Frisch packed the HOF with his friends in the early 1970s--Jesse Haines, Dave Bankroft, Ross Youngs, Chick Hafey and George "Highpockets" Kelly (who peaked at 1.9% in the BBWAA voting).
