Well, anyone can get in with the price of admission. I'll be going soon, myself. But it's not all that much harder to get on the ballot for nomination.
Otis Nixon?
Jeff Montgomery??
Jack McDowell???
Worse yet, these people will get some votes saying they should be in the Hall of Fame. Think about that. You can win 127 MLB games like McDowell and get on the ballot. You can get 1379 lifetime hits and have a career OBP of .343 and get on the ballot like Nixon. What a sham.
Now, who on the ballot should get in?
Bert Blyleven. 287 wins. 3700+ Ks. Shameful that he's not in already.
Rich Gossage. Longevity. Dominance. One of the first dominant closers...he did it longer, although not always better than the rest.
Dale Murphy. A superstar anywhere other than Atlanta, which was a dreadful team at the time.
Jim Rice. Supreme slugging numbers.
Lee Smith. See Gossage, Rich.
