Throw the Bum Out - Hall of Fame Edition Topic

You can find a list of Hall of Fame players at Baseball-Reference or the Hall of Fame website. As I mentioned in my previous post, there are 237 players in, including Negro Leaguers. Who would you kick out? And are there players you think should be put in?

WTF are umpires in there?  I can see maybe Bill Klem and Jocko Conlan... but Nestor Chylak? 

And who decided that Charles Comiskey deserved to be immortalized?

I have no problem with the non-players in the HOF.  They're all judged by a different standard than players.

I think the HOF has changed a lot over the years. Guys we might kick out now based on stats were probably voted in for much different reasons (character, durability, contributions to franchise/MLB).  It's hard to throw guys out looking back, not knowing all the reasons they were voted in at the time. I think we can only really comment on guys who we've seen get voted in and have been able to actually hear/see some reasoning and arguments around.
