So what happens this year with the HOF speeches? Will they be able to find any of Deacon White's relatives? Or will they exhume him and take him onstage, Weekend-at-Bernie's-style?

I'm amazed Aaron Sele was on the ballot to begin with. I mean, if this was voting for the Hall of Adequacy, then you could make a case.

It's mostly just to honor with the opportunity, they never get in thought.

So who should have won it in 82 if not Dale Murphy? Mike Schmidt. I know I'm biased, but I'd say Lonnie Smith personally. He had just as high a WAR as Murphy, a better BA/OBP and I'd say he was a better cataclyst for the Cards in 82 than Schmidt was for the Phillies considering his team took the division. As for the the BBWAA:

And I think the football HOF is a joke for mandating that a minimum of players get elected each year. Talk about cheapening the honor! No, I think there needs to be a minimum of inductees.

So this makes Biggio only the second 3000 hit player to not get in first ballot.

Anyone find it crazy that people held off Bagwell and Piazza because of suspicion then there was a good amount of talk of YUP FRANK THOMAS SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO NEXT YEAR

This was just a nightmare. First you have the PED cloud, which screws guys like Bagwell and Piazza that never had a whisper about them.
Then, someone like Biggio gets screwed by writers that never want to elect someone first ballot anymore.
It's bullshit and beyond f***ing embarrassing.

No way. The only people that are locks for next year are Maddux, Glyvin and Thomas. Kent might do well, but not get to 75%.
Morris is a real question mark. Just depends on how big the math is for the top three. Getting to 75% is gonna be tough besides those three next year.
