Getting elected to the HOF is still an honor & judging by the spirited discussion on the three HOF threads, it is most definitely worth talking about!
Meh. Everytime a "case made" player is inducted, it becomes less of an honor. The "spirited discussion" stems from some users thinking it should be more exclusive(tec/me are good examples), while others think it should be more inclusive(you/BL are good examples).
Glavine is a good example. My initial reaction is "no thanks". My secondary reaction, after looking at his stats, is still largely "no thanks" but I'm not nearly as convinced as I am that Kenny Lofton doesn't belong.
Glavine had ten All-Star selections, five 20-win seasons, two Cy Young Awards, and won over 300 games in his career.
What exactly is "no thanks" about that?
