2015 Baseball HOF ballot released

Next time try actually reading the post before you respond, JC. "but he must be lying if he claims he didn't put on enough"

Do you need me to spell it out for you using smaller words? You clearly didn't understand it the first time.

 

Show me the post where I claimed he was clean, JC. I know you are one of the posters who has been desperately searching for it. Keep on trying, bubba.

I'm sorry so many of you were too busy lapping up every word MLB fed you to understand the point I was making there, but that is your failure, not mine.

 

There are 11 I want to vote for and I'm a very hard grader when it comes to performance (but very easy when it comes to integrity).

Seriously thinking of not voting for Johnson or Pedro just because they will get in without my vote.

The limit of 10 needs to go. It's wrong that I even have to consider that.

 

If you do, go with Johnson. The old guard will vote him regardless because of 300 wins. Pedro is going to lose votes with them because he lacks the counting numbers.

 

BB, you are right. I expect the 10-man limit may go if this ice jam created by the PED issue continues.

 

That's actually a good way to justify not voting for them, as long as you don't mind the emails screaming about how you were one of a handful who left them off.

By God, he will show them.

 

I don't have insider, so I didn't get to where he explains his point. Don't care to, either. I don't care who it is. These "statement" ballots are self-important bullshit.

 

The statement is a column. I repeat an earlier post. Guys who are as insider as it gets, with media alliances MLB cannot ignore, including itself, are going public with criticisms about the Hall voting process that were considered radical Commie hippie garbage when I wrote it after I got the vote in the early 2000s. There is a mindset change in progress.

 

Well, you are a commie hippie, so there's that.

 

Cameras in classrooms will fix education before a mindset change in MLB Hall of Fame voting creates some kind of desired effect.
