  1. Okay, first and foremost I promise to behave myself and not call either MLB Team in NY funny names that rhyme with their actual name, nor will I make fun of our neighbors to the north. Also, now that Larry Walker is in can we please stop bringing up members of the Colorado Rockies being eligible for the HOF? It's just silly talk. Now I'm going to try something a little different (mostly to placate Phil, who thinks I'm a mean-spirited curmudgeon who is obsessed with kicking people out of various HsOF.) While it is true that I have such tendencies, it is also true that I am the bringer of sweetness and light and the Champion of Fair Play! So what I'm going to do is this, for every person that I advocate kicking to the curb, I will put forth the name of a superior replacement player. And to tie it all back to the pro wrestling that this Board was built on, you'll note that right after the tag of "Throw the Rascals Out!" is "Give Them Allocades!" Now I have no idea what "allocades" are, and in over thirty years of writing professionally I must say that I've never come across the word being used by anyone other than Lex Luger. However, ol' Lex was very fond of the allocades that he had received and made a point of mentioning them on more than one occasion. In fact, it has been speculated that the whole rationale behind Brody pulling his no-selling shit on Luger in Florida was due to jealousy over Luger's allocades and his refusal to share them. Anyway, if allocades were that important to Lex Luger and Bruiser Brody there's no reason that we shouldn't co-opt them for our use. Oh, I almost forgot... If you are new here, these are some things that you may consider: Using the argument of so and so is in and so and so was just as good so he should be in too. This is horrible reasoning and will get you brutally mocked. Comparing two disparate players to try and get one of them over. For example: "Dave Kingman hit a lot more HRs than Ozzie Smith and thus was more valuable to his teams. Obviously comparing a one-dimensional lumbering oaf with arguably the finest defensive player to ever live is foolishness. Make sure you don't do this. Saying that a player's main argument for induction are the intangibles that they brought to the table. This is just horseshit on every possible level. Baseball. more than any other sport lends itself to measurements and mathematics, if you know where to look and why. I'll buy the argument that some guys are just pleasant to be around and their attitude makes everyone else seem to be better. By the same token a surly, unpleasant asshat may seem to drag his team down. The reality is that the actions or attitude of one person really have little influence on another person. Let's look at the reality, while I don't know the man, and consider his brand of religion to be more ludicrous than most, I have never, ever heard anyone say a bad word about Dale Murphy and based on what I have heard it would seem unlikely that a finer gentleman walks the earth. Did the fact that Murphy is a credit to his species make winners out of the rest of the Hotlanta Braves? No,. it did not. In fact, even after Murphy was replaced by Dave Justice losing was so engraved into the Braves collective psyche that even with the finest starting rotation that the game has ever seen,, they still didn't win at the level they were projected to. Okay, I'd like to see someone else start things off, I'll be back later with my picks.
