The Hawk elected

[miraja2]

As a lifelong Dodgers fan, I find it absolutely astounding (and kind of funny) that there were TWO people who voted for Eric Karros to be a HOFer. The guys that received one vote are funny too, but at least they can be written off as simply the work of a lone nut. But how there is more than one nut-job that thinks Karros belongs I'll never know.

Segui got jobbed.

Anyone on that list below Dale Murphy doesn't deserve to sweep the floors of the HoF, much less be enshrined in it.... roughly 70 wasted votes.

5 people didn't even vote!! A vote should be mandatory.

I don't think it should be mandatory if you didn't think anyone was HOF worthy. That being said I think everyone knows Alomar is a HOFer, the silliness of not voting for guys on their first ballot is idiocy. Even Cal Ripken (98.53%) and Nolan Ryan (98.79%) had people not vote for them on their first ballots cause of those idiots.

Scavs, if you have any plans on going to the ceremony maybe you should pick up an Expos jersey.

I know, I am pretty shocked but the Hall makes the choice.

Is there ANY other Expos in the HOF?

MLB might want some rememberance of what was a breeding stock for really good players
