Yep it's a complete joke. You're either a hall of famer or you're not, but they've invented these unwritten rules where some guys aren't "first ballot" guys.


no one will ever be unanimous since babe ruth wasn't...

Next year should be a large class with Maddux, Glavine, Biggio, probably Jack Morris being inducted.

Baseball writers are the most pretentious fricks in all sports media.

I can guarantee that Biggio has held plenty of jock straps of guys that were below him.

I'm surprised Biggio and Bagwell got the % they did. Biggio will most certainly get in next chance and Bagwell in a couple years.

this. I love them taking the high road on Roids after making headlines for a decade or so with the product the steroid era produced. I have an extremely hard time believing any writer saying they had no idea it was going on.

So they were either lying OR they're just stupid/oblivious and really bad at their jobs.
