The Hall of Fame / "Hall of Very Good" / who's deserving / who's not question has been debated in here so often,
but like the weather, "everybody complains but no one ever does anything about it." We mentioned this in another thread [ http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=250735 ] just a month ago, but nobody took the reins: "A hockey history group ran an interesting exercise several years ago, in which a couple of dozen or so hockey historians participated in "re-voting" the Hockey Hall of Fame from scratch, a fresh vote every few days. It took about a year to complete, and the (polite) arguments for and against the various candidates and the vote manoeuvering got pretty clever and involved as the "years" went by, players were voted in, failed to be elected but had enough support to be rolled over as eligible for subsequent votes, fell off the eligibility list after several "years," and so on. It would be fascinating to see the results of a similar exercise in here to "re-vote" the baseball hall. Needed: one moderator / tabulator of votes, and as many guys as necessary to comprise a knowledgeable voting body, all seriously committed to sticking with the project for the year or more the process would require.

My post was meant to be a joke much like the HOF without Clemens and Bonds being in it. |

It became the Hall of Very Good once Rock Raines / Bruce Sutter got in.

It arguably became the Hall of Very good when Roger Bresnahan was elected in 1945 (some would argue it was even earlier than that.)

I should have realized that with your emogies. Too bad we'll never know exactly what portion of Bonds' or Clemens' totals were legit and what portion wasn't. Being elected to the Hall is not a birth-rite and to have those two sharing the same honored space as Walter, Jackie, Willie and Hank (and I realize there are a lot of questionable characters already in) would irk me to no end. Maybe their penalty should be to elected posthumously...if they would do it to Mr. Santo, then why not to them. That's end of sermon. Amen...oh, wait...that's not pc enough...Awomen, too.
