    MLB HOF has some "joke" to it............

    I mean.............SIXTEEN PERCENT of HOF voters left Greg Maddux off of their ballot.

    There is a ZERO chance that these 16% have the foggiest clue about baseball. This speaks drastically ill for the HOF process.

    Sickening.

    Congrats, Greg. Great Career.

    One writer actually admitted leaving Maddux off his ballot because he refused to vote for anyone who played through the "steroid era". Ridiculous!!

    Sorry, but I don't see how Frank Howard, essentially a DH, belongs in the Hall.

    Move this crap to the base-a-ball forum.... Least I think it's base-a-ball??? What is HOF? Home Owners Friends???? And is Maddux the guy that stole all that money from folks in some investment scheme?

    MLB IS a joke.

    HEY! Frank Howard was a childhood hero of mine. Get off him!

    Sorry, I said Frank Howard, I meant the career DH, Frank Thomas.

    Whew...

    When I was a kid, I had to get glasses. I was devastated because I would be "different" from everyone else and people with glasses got picked on back then.

    The eye doctor pointed to a big poster on the wall of Frank Howard at bat with his glasses on and said "Do you think he gets picked on?"

    So... there it is. Your glimpse in to my past

    Well that's pretty cool. I really don't know much about him, with him being a Senator and all.

    Maddux and Glavine both richly deserve to be in.
