I don't question Griffey's worthiness, but I'm wondering how people can be going batshit that he wasn't a unanimous choice....has there ever been one? He got 99+% of the votes....Willie Mays only got 94%. Career BA - Mays .302, Griffey .284. Home runs - Mays 660, Griffey 630. Stolen bases - Mays 338, Griffey 184. Gold Gloves - Mays 11, Griffey 10
these guys should be beaten first. griffey is like one of the greatest 5 cfs of all time with 600+ freaking homeruns. these 3 dweebs have to be made public at some point. tim raines should be in. clemens and bonds should be obviously. piazza made it and bagwell is next in.
looks like raines will be have to get in via the (what used to be called) veterans committee. clements and bonds will be in a few years. hated piazza but he was a hof'er. the kid may be the best i've ever seen too.
Babe Ruth only got 84% of the vote. There are the same assholes who wouldn't vote for Superman on the first ballot even if he hit 1000 home runs a year for 100 years. Next up players nobody can question their HOF careers are Mariano Rivera in 2018 and Derek Jeter in 2019.
When player like Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Seaver, Koufax are up and there has never been any allegations of PED use there is no excuse for any voter to leave them off their ballot.
Shocking I tell ya To answer your question no, there hasn't. The bigger question is does this come from the HOF or is it just a few old codgers hanging on to the way it used to be? I for one am hoping they die soon so that this ridiculous string of ridiculous voting can come to an end. Jr, Cal Ripiken, Mays, shit so many others should have been without question 100% 1st timers it isn't even up for discussion. It is old time bullshit that is either being pushed by the hall or carried out by a few hangers on and they just need to die. Sadly Jr may have been the last unanimous vote worthy candidate and they screwed him. Fucking old people.
