OK. It will be interesting to see who's right, as determined by the actual vote. I happen to think you guys will be justified by Mussina being voted in at some point. I also happen to be one of those people who think that the HoF is getting too crowded with players like Mussina. The more of those that you let in, the less meaningful become the HoF memberships of players like Clemens and Maddux. And Ford, Gibson, Koufax, Ryan, Seaver, etc. If you don't agree with me, I have two words for you:
Gaylord Perry.
Hmmm, Dagrims, that's not a bad idea about different tiers in the Hall. Have an A wing, B wing, C wing, etc. That's not as harsh as what I was thinking of proposing to Bud next time I saw him: a secret HoF "expulsion committee" that would review past admissions.
