As I have said before... until they relax and get Bonds and Rose in there.... and others..... but, I feel, especially those two..... they should simply blow the son-of-a-bitch up.

And.... why are some of those hammerheads down at the bottom even on the list? If it is because someone voted for them at some time...... that person should lose their vote!

Whoever voted for Aaron "fucking" Boone should lose voting privileges . Especially considering the fact that there is a 70% chance that same person did not vote for Bonds who was the most dominant hitter in the history of baseball.

I agree; the bottom dozen on that list shouldn't even be allowed to buy a ticket to the HOF.

Nobody will ever do what Smoltz did as a pitcher. Badass!

The HOF should annually disqualify any voter who:

Fails to vote Yes for a player who receives 95%+ of overall votes

and/or

Votes for any player who receives only 5% of overall votes

Good to see you around Ironman8.......Any of those voters who didn't vote for Randy or Pedro should not be voting....
