Glad they reduced it from 15 to 10 years
it just shows that even getting elected has it's quirks that are beyond the player's control and sometimes it just doesn't work out -- same as guys that play the wrong position for a long time, or an ill-timed injury, or were caught in the wrong team's minor league system.
hell, look at the shortage of guys from the WWII era. guys like Cecil Travis that seemed to be on their way, but whose careers were sidetracked by service. come to think of it, that would be a cool exhibit for the museum -- kind of a "greatness deferred" deal honoring ball players that saw combat.
