Hall Of Fame doesn't seem to mean much anymore, look at some of those names. HOF should mean the best of the very best.

Pretty soon people will be saying shit like "by today's standards some of these guys from early on would never have made it"
And when it comes to some rule changes, they might be right. But you have to respect guys who set records, even if the records have been broken.
Because at the time, they were the shit, the best, and no way around that.

It's ignorant of people to say that, it's those players from the past that made these Sports into what they are now.

The problem with all the hall of fames is that they are compelled to put in a certain number every year. Some years there may be only one true hall of famer but they still put in a minimum of 5-7. Just crazy. It should be diluted by that standard

Frankly I put Bonds in as the ONLY juiced hitter to get in.
Clemens needs to be in too

Not true. In MLB you need to be named on 75% of ballots to get in. There have been many years where no one was inducted into baseball HOF.

He didn't get the minimum last time thru
Shame, 3000 hits, 500 hrs, .300 hitter
Guy IS a HOF player but he lied to congress so there's that...

That keeps the standard very high in baseball. The other leagues have minimum numbers every year. Definitely dilutes the hall of fame and makes it seem as though there are different levels/wings in each hall of fame. Jerry Rice, Art Monk and Andre Reed are all in the hall of fame, but Jerry rice needs his own wing.
Voters did not elect any players to the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2021, it was announced Tuesday. Meanwhile, leading vote-getter Curt Schilling asked to be removed from next year's ballot.
