Chisoxfn Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 How the hell is Alomar not a 1st ballot hall of famer. He is the greatest 2nd baseman of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHizzle85 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I've got no problem with Dawson. But there's no way Alomar shouldn't of been in this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 The MLB Hall of Fame is the HOF that the most people care about, yet its the one voted on by the most idiotic douchebags of the bunch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 So for all of the columns you see from baseball writers about how bad the fans are at the all-star ballot, this Hall of Fame vote shows they are just as dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the greatest 2nd baseman of all time. He spit in an umpire's face. I don't agree with it, but his appearance to the media is the reason.

That's a great point. Some of these guys just don't get it. How a writer does not vote for a 12X All-Star, and 10X Gold Glove Award winner is beyond me. I'm ready to see the voting go to the players (peers of the nominees) and let the writers stick to writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 QUOTE (earthshiner @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) Its sad to see the HOF turn more into a joke each year. Its turning into the Hall of Really Good I agree with that, but I'll also say it's becoming harder and harder to decide who belongs. And next year, they'll have Jeff Bagwell, Larry Walker, and Rafael Palmeiro. All of which probably have the numbers, but I don't trust at all. Obviously Palmeiro was busted, but the other two I don't think were clean, but it'll never be proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 How does Tim Raines only get 30% of the vote? That is even more ridiculous than Alomar not getting in on the 1st ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
