BASEBALL WRITERS ON CRACK: NO ROOM IN THE HALL FOR GOSSAGE?

The Hall of Fame Voting has always had a built-in bias against relievers but Gossage not getting in is ridiculous. The question you have to ask is "During his prime years, was he preeminent at his position." Uh, yeah.

These idiots were so busy whaling on McGwire they forgot to put in the most deserving guy on the ballot at his position. It's time to consider taking the exclusive decision-making away from baseball writers. There should be alternative ways for deserving candidate to get in without waiting 20 years to be considered by the veterans committee (which is also a joke but that's another post.)

Cal Ripken was very deserving, as was Tony Gwynn, but Gossage was better at his position than Ripken was at his.
