Unfortunately, it appears that maybe a few voters were asleep at the wheel. Check the full results (courtesy of bbwaa.com). That’s a shame. It seems that maybe a few voters were [...]
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 [...]

If you haven’t already seen the movie “The Bucket List”, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, then I highly recommend that you do so. In short, the movie is about the adventures of two men who believe that they are terminally ill and have decided to write out a “bucket list” of things they want [...]
