It seems the biggest criticism of the writers is over who they don't put in. Again, the reason the Baseball Hall of Fame carries the prestige it does is because — at least on the Baseball Writers' ballot — only the best of the best are able to get that elusive 75%. This year, because of this loaded ballot, there was a lot of discussion among the Baseball Writers about doing away with the rule that limits voters to up to 10 players, and instead allow them to vote for as many candidates as they want. I have no problem with that, but would it have made any difference this year? The three bona fide Hall of Famers all got in. Bonds and Clemens got about the same percentage of support as last year, and fears that some the new players on the ballot, such as Jeff Kent or Mike Mussina, who may well be elected a few years down the road, would get knocked off because of the logjam proved unfounded. Maybe if the writers could have voted for as many as they wanted, Craig Biggio would've picked up those two votes he missed by, but he'll probably make it in next year. And is there anyone who would put Biggio in the same no-brainer class as Maddux, Glavine and Thomas?
