Starting next year all HOF votes will be made public
OleMissCub replied to OleMissCub's topic in General Baseball Talk
Probably because that's how it has always been.... IF BABE RUTH ONLY HAD TWO OTHER GUYS INDUCTED WITH HIM HOW CAN WE EVER HAVE MORE THAN THAT IN A CLASS!?!?! Type nonsense Hell, even Babe's class (the first class) had 5: Ruth, Johnson, Wagner, Cobb, and Mathewson The first 4 classes had a total of 26 http://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/past-inductions/1936-1939 -

Why the heck should it matter how many inductees there are in a particular year? Is it because the old curmudgeons don't want to sit there all day listening to speeches? -
I'm all for second chances as well, so I'm glad he got to play again, but my issue was that Mixon didn't seem very remorseful given how he was responding to the crowd and with his teammates laughing and fake punching him. It all seemed rather tone deaf.

Was just looking at his stats and only 16 pitchers in history have a higher career WAR than Mussina. -
So Oklahoma players were jokingly punching Mixon as they were celebrating. Lovely.

weird i don't see barry bonds on there. or gehrig. or hornsby. I can't have two Yankees on there and unfortunately most people wouldn't recognize Rogers Hornsby. Bonds is still alive and thus his living spirit cannot bring forth the necessary powers needed to immaculately conceive a baseball Terminator.

Funny guy you are. I picked the three best historical hitters IMO and Banks for some Cubs flavor. Apologies if the presence of Cobb rustles you, Goony. I'll change it and put David Kelton on there.

Excellent. That's identical to mine. -
Go with Vlad. AL MVP, 9 All-Star games, 2500 hits, 450 HR, Lifetime 140 OPS+, 10 100+ RBI years. Admittedly, his 59.3 WAR is on the lower end of HOFers, but the dude could mash and was so much fun to watch. Throughout his career my gut always told me this guy was a HOFer, so I'm going with it. It came down to picking between him and Walker with my final vote. I went with Walker, even though it felt so, so wrong. I assume Walker's defensive prowess was the difference there. Their offensive metrics are real similar. For some reason whenever Walker or a Rockies players come up I think about how laughably ridiculous Helton's 2000 season was and yet he still came in fifth in MVP voting. Him coming in fifth with these numbers is like the ultimate indication of that era: .372/.463/.698/1.162, 163 OPS+, 8.8 WAR, 216 hits, 59 Doubles, 42 Homers, 147 RBI FIFTH.... http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_2000.shtml#NLmvp
