_____ was an amazing player in his prime. Good for him.

Shameful.

This person's time of the year is... the internet!

 

Fuck off.

Deacon had a solid run from '73 to '81 and and an impressive 5 HR '84, but not sure that should have gotten him in the Hall.

I'm still baffled that Jack Morris can get so many damn votes. That's the real absurdity in all of this.

I think it's absurdity Biggio isn't a first ballot HOFer. He barely has ties to steroid use (other than allegations by Jeff Pearlman, who throws around steroid allegations like tissue paper). And, his numbers are HOF worthy on their own. He'll get in eventually though, so whatever.

I think it's absurd that you think it's absurd that Biggio isn't a first ballot HOF'er.

If he had 61 less hits, you wouldn't even care at all.

But, Erick, Mr. 2999 got in the Hall of Fame AND had an ice cream truck!

Then he died.

 

... Too soon?

Stanton got 0 votes, guess he'll have to try again in 20 or so years.

I was hoping that Jeff Conine would at least get one vote. He's more deserving than Aaron Sele (who got one).

4.61 ERA. 1,407 strikeouts.

 

At lease Conine had a decent career.
