Huh? You think they believe they're voting people in based on their statistical records? That certainly does not jibe with their actual voting records.

The theory espoused above certainly doesn't explain the Hawk or Dale Murphy's continued absence from the Hall or Ryno's time on the ballot. Quick seems to be the key word above.
Can't explain Murphy except to say that he had his two best seasons during a time when the league averages weren't so high as they've been lately, so folks don't remember him as being all that right now. I suspect that in time he'll make it, especially as we move further and further away from the excesses of the late 90s.

As for Ryno, what exactly is your beef? That it took him 3 whole years to get in instead of 1? How is that even an argument?
