Baseball Hall of Fame

[Roughneck93]

BBWAA elects no one into the Hall for the first time since 1996.

I figured Biggio would get in. :thmbdwn:

He did lead the way receiving 68.2% of the vote. He'll get in next year.

At least Biggo and Bagwell should have made it. The older voters refuse to vote for the first timers on the ballot. Maybe next year

Hope so. Next year the ballot will be loaded...Maddux, Glavine, and Frank Thomas will become eligible.

And this is what's wrong with the BBHOF... there are at least 10 names on that list that absolutely should be in.
