EG>I thought that he'd have to hang on and fight like Santo but now, he won't
EG>even have that chance. I'm not even a Yankees fan and I can see the 
injustice
EG>done in this case. I've been particularly p.o.'d at the writers for many
EG>injustices but this one is the last straw. I'm so tired of the writers, 
whose
EG>only qualification for the job is being a member of the BBWA for 10 years,
EG>screwing men out of their well deserved place in history. These are the 
same
EG>people that want to screw guys out of awards because they won't grant them
EG>interviews and then they stand there with their holy-than-thou looks, 
expecting
EG>us to believe that Phil Niekro wasn't deserving last year but he is this 
year
EG>and Nettles isn't worthy of future consideration. The HOF is a joke -- no, 
it's
EG>a travesty. It's OUR HOF and we deserve the right to honor OUR legends. 
NOW,
EG>more than ever, it's time that the HOF takes away their voting rights and 
give
EG>it to the people who really care about the game and not the politics of it 
--
EG>the fans. We deserve a HOF that is populated by the people that deserve it 
and
EG>not the ones that the writers think are worthy. **** THEM and all of their
EG>kind.
What about Ron Guidry? His stats are almost the same as Don Drysdale. He
was a dominant picture but he doesn't have a shot to get in.
