The writers need to be removed from the HoF selection process - especially since their ranks are now filled with ESPN-style SJW’s. It’s only a matter of time before HoF candidates are being blackballed for making “heteronormative remarks” in high school.

He’s got a point.
He’s biased if he only applies to Yankees.
