Seeing that the trainer for Orb is a Horse Racing Hall of Fame member but hadn't had a horse run in the Kentucky Derby in 23 years, and had never won it, makes me wonder what he did to get in the HoF.

What other unimpressive HoF'rs are out there?

Good call. If Bob Costas is in any kind of HoF, he's automatically the worst/shittiest person in that collection.

Based on just players in just the big 3 sports and not super old guys I don't know enough about, Troy Aikman immediately comes to mind before anyone else.

Exhibit A.

I fully expect Full Retard to be reached prior to page 2 at this rate.

Because the Kentucky Derby isn't the only race. And trainers run more than 2 year olds. His horses have won more than 240 graded stakes races.

Harold Ballard, would've been Allan Eagleson but he was expelled.

Hockey Hall of Fame is too easy to get into

Freddie Lindstrom in the baseball Hall is a friggin' joke. Here's his b-ref page:

Cronyism at its worst. Forget his mediocre stats, the guy only had SIX seasons in which he amassed 600 PA's. He was only a full time player for six seasons, yet he's in the Hall. He is the gold standard of crappy inductions.

I disagree with Costas' politics as much as anyone, but he's one of the greatest sportscasters of all time
