Hal LewisWhile I think that this is indeed an appropriate course of action for the HOF to take...
a cynical part of me wonders if they only did it because there are ZERO major leaguers who will probably get voted in by the BBWA in 2006. Look at the list of newly eligible players -- it's pathetic.
SO... I can't imagine Cooperstown wanting to let an entire year go by without ANYONE getting inducted to bring the hoardes of people to the city for tourism dollars...
so I am concerned that the "watering down" of the HOF may continue from here on.
I am NOT saying that whoever gets elected THIS time would be considered "watered down"... but what if this is just a sign of things to come??
What is the HOF going to do in 2011 if there are no eligible players worth induction??
Will they form a "special committee" to induct members of the MINOR Leagues into the HOF? Or a special committee to induct "Veterans who Served" into the HOF?
I sure hope not.

So, who do you think the NL committee will elect?
