Shame on you baseball hall of fame voters. Rickey Henderson going in on the first ballot is a no brainer. 28 people did not vote for him. That is actually shocking. What I can not believe is that Jim Rice gets voted in on his last year of eligibility. Why not vote in Joe Carter? Oh wait, I know why. If Jim Rice would have played his entire career in Pittsburgh, he would never be in. Thanks to his Boston affiliation and the east coast bias that exists in sports, he is going in. Shame on you media.
What is driving me nuts is Bert Blyleven is not in yet. He is a no brainer but these idiot voters look at his win loss record and not at his peripherals. However, he is 5th all-time in strikeouts and 14th in innings. He was a great pitcher for many years.
Don't even get me started on Tim Raines. What a joke. He lost votes from last year. WHAT. He should be a LOCK for the hall of fame. WHAT A JOKE!

Tim Raines was the NL version of Rickey. Jim Rice was good and worthy long ago. With Rice in that should open the door for someone else getting the cold shoulder- Dale Murphy. Alan Trammel should be in as well.
