Really a shame that BB came so close without getting in. And Roberto Alomar is one of the top 10 2nd baseman of all time and probably will get in next year.

I heard today that there is alot of voters that say since Ted Williams did not get in on his first ballot that no one should get in...

He certainly deserves it.
He was close enough in the voting that I wonder if he would have gotten in if it were not for the "spitting incident." It seems possible that a few guys may have decided that should disqualify him from being a first-ballot guy.
