Each year, when the Baseball Hall of Fame announces the results of the latest round of BBWAA voting and Era Committee selections, there is naturally spirited discussion around the ones who got in, the ones who didn't, the ones who *should* get in, and the ones who can go ahead and pay twenty-some dollars for a ticket like the rest of us. Every person has their own philosophy around who exactly makes the cut for induction: Big Hall vs. Small Hall, Peak vs. Career, No DHs or Closers Ever vs. People Who Are Wrong, so on and so forth. That's all well and good, and it's natural that the conversation would focus on people who were on the latest ballot or are coming up for eligibility soon. However, it can be useful to look back and evaluate what this whole process has built up so far. The Era Committee system was set up to catch worthy baseballers who haven't been inducted yet; let's take this opportunity to talk about bad baseballers who should never have been inducted, or admittedly good baseballers who were also incredibly lovely people and therefore shouldn't be celebrated as part of baseball's history. Hell, let's have a vote! THE SETUP
Play ball!

Cap Anson is gonna fuckin' get it. Edit: Also Bud Selig needs to be dragged to the Hall to be physically present and watch his poo poo be thrown out, and then be thrown out bodily himself. Redeye Flight fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Jan 26, 2023 |

Bud Selig mostly because of the tie All-Star game and resultant home field in the WS shenanigans even though he's guilty of worse

If you want serious answers, you have to start with Rick Ferrell, the guy who got voted in by pure accident. After that, pretty much anyone on the Gashouse Gang Cardinals teams of the 30’s not named Dizzy Dean or Joe Medwick - Jim Bottomley, Rabbit Maranville, Chick Hague, Billy Southworth…. Honestly, almost every non-negro league Veterans Committee selection from the 70s can go too. It was all cronieism and favors for friends, so you can get rid of Hack Wilson, Harry Hooper, and Fred Limdstrok for starters. Controversial pick - Jim Hunter. Great pitcher, not deserving. You can throw Jack Morris right in there too.

Alrighty! With a whopping 12 ballots submitted, I'm sorry to say that no one reached the 9-vote threshold to be unofficially booted out. But we can still curse their names under our breath. Here's the tally:
No big surprises considering who people were talking up here and elsewhere!

Shrecknet posted:gently caress I forgot Selig add him to votes I think we can let the racists stay in the hall if a cool hall of famer is seen spiking them in their updated bust. Cool hall of famers include (But ARE NOT LIMITED TO!!!) Rickey Henderson, Oscar Charleston, Hank Aaron, and Roberto Clemente.
