Every time I hear about the Hall of Fame voting on players to enshrine I cringe. The Hall of Fame is watered down and it is no longer the best of the best. This year Jim Rice of the Red Sox was elected to the Hall after a successfull career but not a Hall of Fame career. He led the league in double plays, was a sub par outfielder and made to many outs! Can we please gp back to the elite players getting enshrined! It seems that as we move forward in pro sports we are not holding our athletes to any type of standard except that they are above any and all accountability like the rest of society.
We do not have to enshrine someone just because they are on the list of possible candidates. Let's hold the Hall of Fame for players that have strong careers, strong character and above all else someone who deserves it.
It is the Hall of Fame; not the Hall of Popularity.
