I don't think there was ever a time that he played when Fred McGriff was one of the 10 best players in baseball. He's not a hall of famer IMO. Good player, not great.

HOF confirmed as worthless institution dedicated to a silly culture war and not the history of baseball

Well, remember the members of the committee: Chipper Jones, Greg Maddux, Jack Morris, Ryne Sandberg, Lee Smith, Frank Thomas, Alan Trammell, Paul Beeston, Theo Epstein, Arte Moreno, Kim Ng, Dave St. Peter, Ken Williams, Steve Hirdt, LaVelle Neal and Susan Slusser. Trammell, Thomas, Sandberg, Morris and Maddux were all going to be automatic no votes for Steroid Era guys, which guaranteed that Bonds and Clemens didn't have a chance in hell of crossing the 75 percent threshold. I think the next time the Contemporary Era committee reconvenes is in 2025.

STAC Goat posted:They broke the curse and won a bunch and beefed up the stadium and poo poo. So now they can just do whatever, have ups and downs, let favs go, and it’s all house money so whatever. And if the fanbase ever gets mad at stops coming it will be time to sell. On the other hand I used to be an every day watch and MLB.tv sub and have watched like 10 games a season over the last few and I know many others doing similar. Trading Mookie broke a lot of brains and if they want to keep on that plan it will probably work but it won't be the same.

It's insane that's they aren't in but the moment the committee was announced it was obvious Mcgriff was getting elected to prove a point and that Bonds + Clemens would be rejected by their peers to also prove a point. The specific people chosen were chosen to give cover to the BBWA for not electing Bonds and Clemens previously. "See even their contemporaries don't think they deserve it. We were always right!!!"

Steroids ruined a wholesome, pure game. Thankfully it's been totally purged from the sport now that there is testing and we can all sleep safely knowing they are playing clean.

Flood still isn't in and the BBWA+the various committees conspired to keep Marvin Miller out until he finally told them to gently caress off. The same people are doing the same thing again that they've always done. Darude - Adam Sandstorm fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Dec 5, 2022 |

Keeping Schilling out because he's a dickbag is even dumber; at least using PEDs is cheating even if most everyone was doing it

I remember being at a friend's house in the mid to late 90s and he had a no-real-players baseball game on his computer (holyshit!hehasa~Computer~) and one of the players was named Griff McFred

There are a bunch of players who are in who don’t belong and guys who will never get in who do. Why give Schilling any satisfaction? He’s a scumbag.
