I loathe Hall of Fames. IMO they're just a way to make money from players even after they're retired. They build a museum, attract fans, make player appearances, etc.
For the writers/voters its a total ego thing too. They get on a power trip about getting to decide who makes it and who doesn't.
There are so many inconsistencies and hypocrisies too. Like the steroid era. How do they know for sure who used steroids and who didn't? Isn't it likely Jeff Bagwell, Mike Piazza and Pudge Rodriguez all used PEDs? They all have been accused of it. Yet they still got in.
Meanwhile guys in the Hall of Fame from a long time ago were gamblers, cheaters, womanizers, abusers, etc. Gaylord Perry openly doctored baseballs and is in the HoF. Ty Cobb was a violent racist, babe ruth showed up to games drunk, Hank Aaron and Willie Stargell both admitted to using amphetamines to improve performance. All of them are in the HoF. Yet Pete Rose and Barry Bonds remain out of the HoF? sure....
FWIW I also don't give a f about the oscars or grammys either.
