Stinkin’ thinkin’ is not just for addicts
I was speaking to a friend of a friend today. He is a smart guy and knows a lot of baseball history. He said to me something like, “I think that the HOF should be reserved for the guys that are no-brainer HOF guys. That way we won’t have these endless debates about who is a HOF’er and who is not.”
Putting aside the issue of how large the HOF should be (IOW, where the cutoff point should be - which is quite arbitrary) , I explained that if we did that, there would still be the same gray area (although not as large, since we are limiting the number of inductees) that there was before, and there would be the same endless debates about who belongs, but this time it will be about who is a no-brainer and who is not.
He sort of got it, but didn’t really get it....
