By “We”, I am referring to many of us armchair voters who don’t actually have a say. We tend to lack a set of criteria or have certain biases that cannot be suppressed when discussing Hall of Fame voting. The collective “we” can do much better. To aid the collective “we”, it is time to […]

We discussed EVERY PLAYER on the 2012 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, and whether or not we thought they should get in.

Why the title? Let’s face it. Their names are forever linked. According to Bert Blyleven: “It’s been 14 years of praying and waiting.” Really?

Fred McGriff Nick: Fred McGriff was always a solid hitter. Never terribly flashy with the glove, but could be counted on for his 30 HR and 90 RBI every season. He piled up 493 career home runs before age caught up with him – an outstanding accomplishment. Unfortunately for the Crime Dog, I just don’t […]
