I think it's ridiculous that writers won't vote for one guy because they know they will get in to give another guy a "push." How can anyone deny Griffey being a HOFer. That's my gripe, vote for the best candidates, don't vote to do someone else a favor. If it were up to me, you'd get less than 10 votes and guys could stay on for 5 years. This campaigning to get into the HOF business is a joke. What makes you a HOFer in year 9 or 10 when you weren't one in year one or two? That's what drives me nuts about the voting process. The stats haven't changed over that time, they were either good enough when they retired or they weren't, it shouldn't take a writer 9 years for them to change over their vote. At the same time I don't necessarily think there are any players in the Hall that shouldn't be in, so maybe the process works (Around 1.5% of all players make it) but guys would get in faster, there would be more filtering, and less debate.
