That's my point. Unless I misunderstand the voting process (which is certainly a decent possibility), he has to get rejected for by the hacks for years before the people with subject matter expertise can consider him. It seems crazy to have the primary voting done by hacks and then have the veterans committee "save" people that got screwed by the hacks. And how many undeserving people do the hacks put in? There's no fix for that (although maybe that's not really a problem).

Gotcha. And, yes the hacks are a problem. There are enough living HOF members who are pretty in-tune with the game - even if they are writers and broadcasters - let members vote on all of it. Get the writers out of it.

Dale should have been in years ago, and yet he was passed over again this time. He was a really good player and even nicer guy that did a lot for MLB.
Who is Crimedog? Palmiero?
