Posted May 6, 200520 yr I figured it would be cool to have an elite hall of fame...unlike the real hall of fame which is watered down, this one will only have one player from each hall of fame class starting with the first year...each round, another hall of fame class will be added along to every player to have received at least 1 vote the previous round....votes from earlier rounds count too If any player fails to receive a single vote in any round, they are removed from any future voting First off: 1936 class Nominees: Ty Cobb Walter Johnson Christy Mathewson Babe Ruth Honus Wagner
May 6, 200520 yr Author How can you not include one of those guys? The idea is already dumb. 764554[/snapback] they will have future chances, and if they are eliminated they will be up for a "reinsertion vote"
May 7, 200520 yr Babe blows the others out of the water. But I refuse to vote. Walter Johnson, in my eyes, may have been the greatest pitcher to ever live. Wagner was as good as they came as was Mathewson and Ty Cobb.
May 7, 200520 yr i like the idea, but to do one for 1936 isn't what i like about it these 5 guys were considered the 5 greatest players ever in 1936, you can't just vote only one in. You'll always be a couple guys behind. Just start in 1938 with these 5 and Cy Young in as well, that would make more sense to me.
May 7, 200520 yr Ty Cobb was the best hitter to ever pick up a bat. Like him or hate him, he made baseball the competitive game it is today.

May 7, 200520 yr To appreciate what Ty Cobb did all you need to know can be summarized in one quote:Â "Baseball was one-hundred percent of my life." Â Â He lived hard, but he played harder. A lot of great players had faults. Hell, the guy winning this pole, Babe Ruth, was a womanizer and an alcoholic.

May 8, 200520 yr the guy winning this pole, Babe Ruth, was a womanizer and an alcoholic. 766086[/snapback] A drunk who had some fun with groupies is a hell of a lot better than a cheating, racist, abusive, bigot who played for blood and physically ended the careers of countless players.
May 8, 200520 yr Author this concludes the voting for round 1...Babe Ruth is inducted into the Marlinsbaseball.com Hall of Fame.... Can a mod lock this thread?
