HOF Laws of Unintended Consequences
Poz goes back to the history books once more to show the BBWAA that if they don’t get their act together, their act may be usurped.
Even Gordie Howe was not good enough to play hockey at some point in his life.
There’s no question of one thing: money speaks. And the Hall of Fame knows that money will come during the induction ceremonies. They NEED to have at least an elect-1 system. And you can’t have the case that you have too many overqualified players, that that fact prevents a player from getting enough support above some arbitrary threshold.
It’s like Roy Jones Jr punching SO fast that the recording systems couldn’t keep up with his fury, that he lost the Olympic medal.
And the thing is: we can see this coming. It’s not like we don’t know who is going to be on the ballot in the coming years. Having Clemens and Bonds be carryovers, to go along with Palmeiro and McGwire, is going to create a bottleneck.
