Rickey wants to know who are the 28 morons who did not vote for Rickey! Rickey says that if his credentials did not merit Hall of Fame induction, then no one should be in the Hall of Fame!

    It'd be cool if the sports writers had to justify NOT voting for someone who ends up getting elected.

    Tom Seaver got all but 5 votes. I'd love to see the arguments against him.

    No one has ever got 100% of the votes,

    Not Cobb, not Mays, not Lefty Grove, not Ted Williams. Babe Ruth was not even the leading vote getter, when he got in, and I think Joe DiMaggio was not selected in his first year on the ballot.

    Some voters now assume, perhaps correctly or perhaps not, that a 100% choice now, might disrespect former choices, or imply a 100% pick, is a better player than former ones.

    Like Jaxxr mentioned, it is almost a 'tradition' now to not allow a 100% vote getter as some sort of respect factor to the other guys who didn't get 100%.

    It is a downright silly and stupid unwritten rule these guys have, and wouldn't it be something if enough of them thought of it that way, and some legit 1st ballot guys didn't make it, LOL!

    But this is not new news that these writers are morons. They are very ignorant on a lot of baseball evaluation, which is inexcusible since they have the power to such a highly esteemed honor.

    There is absolutely no excuse for some of these guys to be voted in, while their equals or even superiors don't even get a smidge of consideration.

    The only consistency, is that the writers are consistently ignorant.

    <<< It's well know that certain voters categorically refuse to vote for ANY first time nominee >>>

    That's exactly right, and I can think of nothing sillier with the possible exception of trying to make money betting on sports. image
