Derek Jeter

Damn right

It's an abomination.
I was watching something earlier and some dudes where arguing about a stat that Ichiro, didn't do enough after he made base, like steal or push for extra bases. Some stupid obscure stat nobody ever heard of.
I mean the fuck this dude lead the league in hits for like 10 years straight while collecting gold gloves and is hands down the best lead off hitter in the history of baseball.

^^^^^
All this 1000%

I'm kinda extra with this stuff.

I completely understand the writers having these votes in THEORY it's great.

But in practice? With this generation of writer?

Nah

We can't have writers trolling. WTF is thar?

we already accept the votes are biased against nice guys media friendly guys I get it

I don't agree but I understand

But the hall of fame is the pinnacle.

You permanently f**k up a player legacy

Mariano Jeter Griffey Ichiro

NEVER EVER CHEATED THE GAME.

NEVER

but these writers have

So many of these writers were drunks abusers assholes racists. We don't do background on them. We should.

The thought process is bullsh*t because we didn't vote so and so unanimous no one can be?

Yall supported keeping black players out the entire sport. So what about that?

So all that voting sh*t is some type of revenge of the nerds. That just undermines what little if any remaining respect there is for sports journalism.

How am I supposed to take a sport seriously that doesn't vote Ichiro into the hall of fame unanimously?

I hate to go there

but the guy who didn't vote should be asked if it was racially motivated.

He WANTED the spotlight

So give him all of it.
