[Messiah717]

Three people kept Griffey from the 100% mark which shows regardless of what happens nobody will ever hit 100%. There will always be at least one person.

 

[yankeesince59]

...Raines should have gotten in.

 

[mrmel29]

There needs to be a vote accountability and the 3 assholes that voted 10 other people over griffey should have their voting credentials immediately revoked. These cowardly writers votes should all be public knowledge and not a secret. Glad piazza got in but should have been in already

 

[Rick2583]

Does anyone have the final vote totals? I think both Clemens & Bonds totals went up. And I'd like to see how close Raines came.

Largest increases from 2015 to 2016................

Mike Mussina +18.4
Edgar Martinez +16.4
Jeff Bagwell +15.9
Tim Raines +14.8
Curt Schilling +13.1
Roger Clemens +7.7
Barry Bonds +7.5

 

[MuskyHunter1]

Raines and Bagwell will get in next year. Wish Mussina would get the nod. He was pretty awesome for pitching in the AL East and in those band box stadiums during the Hulk Hogan era.

 

[totus44]

The 8 people who voted for Nomar should just be killed, there is no excuse for their existence.

 

[Rick2583]

How is Schilling getting all these votes?

 

[yankeesince59]

How is Schilling getting all these votes?

...how does Hoffman get all those votes on his first year of eligibility?

 

[yankeesince59]

...it's pronounced "Nomah".

 

[Mattingly23NY]

...it's pronounced "Nomah".

Nomah and Mama Mia...

(I smell a joke, but out of respect for Mia Hamm, I'll pass, and keep it to myself)....

 

[totus44]

...it's pronounced "Nomah".

Damn autocorrect.....

[cagedlion]

Clemens is at it again. Trying to bully Halladay on twitter, no less!

Guess what? I 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% agree with Mr.Halladay.

Clemens has lied & bullied his whole career and now he just can't stop.

Didn't like him in a Yankee uniform. For that matter, I didn't like him ever.

 

[yankeesince59]

...yeah, like Roy alluded to, I'd take his reputation over Clemens' any day.

...and also, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Halladay makes the HOF before Clemens.

, I can just see Clemens launching if Doc gets in before the Rocket...!

Hell, Roger might go on a excessive hormone fit of rage, .....

 

[Rick2583]

Clemens sounds like one bitter son of a bitch.

...^^^

No doubt, Roger's pissed off, tho' he denies it, say's he's made peace with it my ass. He will go to his grave one pissed off bastard, .... obviously he has and will probably never get over it.

I mean, how in the hell does on garner 7 Cy Youngs, Win 300 games, and NOT re-kindle his "not wanted" Fire day after day, to the day he dies?

 

[Rick2583]

I think both Clemens & Bonds numbers will continue to go up but I think when all is said & done (I believe they're eligible for another 4-5 years) the'll both come up short. JMO.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^I pretty much see it the same way, Rick...and if they both can't get in via the sports writers' votes it wil then be left up to the veterans committee...and if that's the case, they may never be elected in our life time. (another 30 or 40 years)
