...I lost interest in the HOF voting procedure a very long time ago...(in young person speak...a very long time ago means at a significantly earlier stage of my emotional development, which in my case, refers to when I was like 20)..
The BBWAA is a joke.  The way the baseball writers think is, quite frankly, inexcusably narrow minded and anti-American (yes, I said anti-American).  These men are holding back national understanding of the game by 40 years because, like a bunch of petulent children, they think their way is the only way.
Edgar Martinez is just the latest travesty.  A long line of men getting the vote for all the wrong reasons and failing to get the vote for similarly wrong reasons prevails.  I have no respect at all for the BBWAA.  None.  If they offered me membership by some accident, I would refuse it.
