    Griffey Jr isn't the first and won't be the last worthy of unanimous selection. Mariano Rivera wasthe greatest closer of all time be he won't be unanimous either.

    Say what you want about Derek Jeter. He wasn't the greatest shortstop ever but how is it possible for a single voter to believe he shouldn't be in the HOF. If Griffey wasn't unanimous nobody will ever be.

    Bregman will be. Hell, half of them already have him penciled in, the other half will be dead.

    You heard it here first.

    Like I said, there are a couple left from that old school who just vote no on everyone. They need to die off.

    There has to be a few old bitches who never vote for anyone because they still feel the negroes shouldn't play with the whites.

    Yep, those dudes.

    The thing is, I don't know if it is pushed by the HOF or if it is just a couple dudes that just want to be stubborn. I wonder if the votes are published?

    Statler and Waldorf and one other guy.


    For those that don't know as I didn't up until a few minutes ago Statler and Waldorf are the 2 old dudes in the balcony from the muppets. Never knew their names.
