[yougo1000]

There must be a bunch of Gurnicks on this site.

So with the poll getting close to being done we've got 6 guys in the HOF…really surprised at the lack of support for Kent.

Are you guys all looking the other way on players who cheated the game or...

It's the Hall of Fame, a museum about baseball…not the Hall of All that is Good and Right about baseball. Seriously, 50 years from now when I visit the HOF (if I'm around) I want to be able to show my grandkids Bonds, Clemens, McGwire, etc, along side Maddux, Piazza, Glavine, Biggio, etc, and tell them about the 'steroid' era. If none of these guys are in there, an entire era of baseball will not be represented in the museum.

Sure, you could put a display in the museum that talks about them and talks about the era, etc, but that's just the easy way out IMO.

Maddux, Glavine, and Thomas are the only ones that made it. Brutal for Biggio…got 74.8% of the vote (that's like 2 votes short).

Disappointed in Piazza's low (62.2%) total…dude should be a lock as much as Thomas.

What is going on with Raines…the guy should be a LOCK and he can't get any traction.

Clemens/Bonds go down in support...

Costas is downright giddy that Bonds/Clemens went down...

On Biggio, if he get's one more vote, it's 74.95%, which get's rounded up and he's in the HoF.

So, it's one vote that kept Biggio out.

Also, 16 people didn't vote for Greg Maddux.

Baseball Hall of Fame is full of the most elites sons of bitches I've ever seen. I also think ITT has a real vote, because somehow, someway, Jacque Jones did get a vote. As did JT Snow.
