Quote from: MakeItRain on January 08, 2015, 01:33:19 AMI haven't mentioned my extreme butthurt on the percentage disparity between Randy and Pedro but WHAT THE eff IS THAT ABOUT??? 9% of voters didn't vote for pedro, I simply don't understand. Tom Glavine got a higher percentage of votes.Longevity. Pedro's prime was the penultimate among modern pitchers imo. Yes, better than Maddux, because of the DH.

I think it's about longevity and the things that come with that, like 300 wins and more exciting totals in things like strikeouts.

Johnson's longevity has nothing to do with 10% of the voters not voting for one of the greatest ever.
You guys know you can only vote for 10 per year right? That's why first ballot matters
Not voting Pedro or Randy is asinine, but people absolutely do pick a marginally deserving player, with only a year or two left on the ballot, over a slightly more qualified player in his first year. In that sense, being a first ballot hall of famer is a pretty big deal.

In that sense, being a first ballot hall of famer is a pretty big deal.Great point. This is something that I was going to bring up, but wasn't sure on the specifics. It's like "Well, duh Pedro is a Hall-of-Famer, but I really like Lee Smith and I don't know if he's going to make it. I think I'll go ahead an leave Pedro off this time around so I can help Lee get in."
Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa are the faces of the steroid era. Hitting home runs is considered more of a steroid thing than pitching. It's not accurate, but it's the belief. I would vote all 4 in and I'm very anti-PEDs.
Rose was a no brainer for the HoF as a player but is being banned for what he did as a manager. His omission from Cooperstown is much more of a crime than Bonds and Clemens being left out.
Was there ever a picture taken of Pete Rose where he looked good? It's crazy. He would have really benefited from living in the pre-camera era of baseball.
time to compromise. put rose in, but don't let him have a hat on on his plaque. use this shot with his 3 stooges hair cut and say, "Pete Rose, can you believe he has the most hits ever? Neither can we."
