I'll give another example of someone who should be in the Hall of Fame: Bob Ueker. Look at his stats, nothing phenomenal, in fact, mediocre at best. Yet, plenty of people know who Bob Ueker is and associate him with baseball. He is famous for Baseball. (Also for acting, but that's another matter).
I don't even know what team Bob Ueker played for without doing an Internet search.
Maybe I was too much of a baseball junkee as a kid then? I gave up on it in 1994 though.
Oh, so any baseball player who broke the rules is not included in the voting. I wasn't aware of that
As a fan of 2 of the teams he played for and the one he announces for I can tell you. Braves, Cardinals and Phillies. He is my favorite guy besides Mike Shannon to listen to baseball on the radio since Jack Buck passed. His nickname of Mr. Baseball says it all.
Even though Rose has admitted he gambled on baseball and appologized, he'll never get in until after he dies. I think he should have been in years ago and appalled that they are showing his stuff in the Hall but deny him being in.
I'll bet Ray Lewis gets in on the first ballot, maybe it just all swings on how good of a lawyer you have.
