I agree and he'll eventually get in......he's just paying the A-hole penalty for at least 1 year.
That is garbage. TONS of jerk wads in the HOF. This is a bunch douche bag writers that are waving the vote like a sword.

I don't disagree with you.That is garbage. TONS of jerk wads in the HOF. This is a bunch douche bag writers that are waving the vote like a sword.
I don't think Murphy is a HOFer.....Robbie Alomar
Bert Blyleven
Edgar Martinez
Jack Morris
Dale Murphy
That would of been my ballot.

Martinez is interesting. The DH role will be working against him.
I agree with both except....Dawson is much more deserving than Murphy.
I should of clarified. I meant in addition to Dawson, who was elected.
The DH is a position. Should we not put in AL Pitchers?

I don't think the DH and AL Pitchers are comparable....playing the field everyday takes a greater toll on the body than standing at the plate with a bat on your shoulders 2-3 times every 5 days.I should of clarified. I meant in addition to Dawson, who was elected.

Its pretty funny that those players got any votes.So let me get this straight.....THESE players, though good ball players, but NO WHERE NEAR deserving of HOF votes, get votes that much more deserving do not get??!!
Robin Ventura 7 - 1.3%
Ellis Burks 2 - 0.4%
Eric Karros 2 - 0.4%
Kevin Appier 1 - 0.2%
Pat Hentgen 1 - 0.2%
David Segui 1 - 0.2
I mean seriously???!!! THIS is why reporters/writers DO NOT deserve to vote and they(possible HOF) should get voted in by their peers(former players and coaches).
Then why isn't Dave Kingman in the HOF. He has over 400 HRs
Another difference between a DH and an AL Pitcher.....you never hear any comments about a borderline HOF NL pitcher referring to him as a crappy hitter.I honestly do not believe Kingman is a HOF. He was JUST a home run hitter. Didn't have a decent OBP, batting average and was an average fielder at best.
