What a freaking joke in the selection committee.

Rickey Henderson - 94.8 percent of the votes. The 28 non-voters should be barred for life from this comittee.
Jim Rice - had to wait the entire 15 years give me a break.

Andre Dawson and Bert Blyleven have to wait.
Lee Smith will never get in.
Mark McGwire at 118 votes.

(Just a partial list)
Mark Grace 22 (4.1) - ballplayer but not HOF worthy.
David Cone 21 (3.9)

Whoever voted for these guys should be barred for life from selection process also.
Matt Williams 7 (1.3)
Mo Vaughn 6 (1.1)
Jay Bell 2 (0.4)
Jesse Orosco 1 (0.2).
Makes you wonder if (a) ever actually watch baseball (b) hold personal agendas when making selections or (c) have their dog makes the selections.
