we have been over this and the answer is to put Schilling's plaque up in the hall, but only inside a stall in a newly constructed all-genders bathroom

Schilling always makes me extra sad. He was the goon chosen one, an Everquest playing, video game company creator! What a gently caress.

between allen and santo, deciding that guys are actually hall of famers like several months after they die even though they retired decades ago is loving infuriating at least with curt the explanation is it is because he's an embarrassing bigot

I recently learned that Santo had diabetes but hid it from the team because he was worried they'd never give him a chance. He told everyone after getting his 1000th RBI.

FlamingLiberal posted:also Marvin Miller kept getting denied until after he died Miller hated the concept of the Hall in general, and consistently said that if he were ever voted in, he'd boycott his own induction ceremony. His son Peter spoke to him like a week before he died and confirmed that, if anything, Miller's feelings regarding the Hall had become even more negative, because he was disgusted at how sanctimonious the writers have become and how brazenly political the whole process has become. I recall Miller was especially incensed at the Hall establishing a special Negro League committee that more or less had the sole purpose of getting Buck O'Neil into the Hall ... and that committee wound up putting a white owner in and left O'Neil out in the cold.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:The character clause was installed by noted turbo-racist Landis Only one person was banned from baseball for reasons of character under Landis: Benny Kauff, amid rumours that he was secretly Jewish and allegedly conspired to sell a stolen car to a Jewish customer. He was acquitted, but Landis ruled that Kauff was "no longer a fit companion for other ballplayers". A lesser-known Landis fact in addition to his hard work maintaining the colour line. Kick Landis out of the Hall of Fame or it'll always be a joke.

The small-Hall, holier than thou writers keeping out literally the best baseball player ever will never not be tremendous.
