The Analog Cub Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 David Ortiz elected to HoF on first year of eligibility. Nobody else elected, including Bonds, Clemens, Schilling, or Sosa.

Congratulations Big Papi. I'm guessing Bonds will get in on one of the other committee votes. There are so many things wrong with the Hall and the voting process. Where does one start? :lol: Without even touching the issues of steroids, gambling, etc., I just wanna know how these sportswriters can get away with not voting for players who are obviously qualified. Only ONE player has received a unanimous vote. ONE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, and I agree, but . . . the fact others are speeding too doesn't mean you don't deserve a ticket when you're speeding; you just got caught (or, in this case, incriminated and implicated . . .).
