Sorry for the long break between blogs…………Why is it every time HOF elections come around there is always a controversy. The best second baseman of our era doesn’t get in because a couple of sportswriters need to punish him for an unexcetpable moment. One player does get in who in my opinion was a hell of a player, but NOT a Hall of Famer. Another pitcher with 287 wins and is 5th in all time strike outs just misses again……….did you know that the catcher with the most hits by a catcher, second in RBI’s, first in doubles, and was a switch hitter will never even make it to Cooperstwon unless he decides to bring his family there on a vacation…….that player is Ted Simmons. Anothert player who is in the same boat, although a miserable prick, still put up the numbers…Albert Belle. Look at Richie Allens numbers, Ken Boyer,and Ron Santo. All comparable to George Kells, Rabbit Maranville, Rick Ferrell. The real problem is, sportswriters elect the players. Not the people who should…..former players……………take away the vote now from selfish, ill informed “journalists”
