It has been a long time between posts. I did not want it to be this long. I just did not feel I had the time to even do just the basic research that Barry Larkin deserved from me to highlight his career. I know my posts will not convince anyone to change their opinion. I am only hoping to get that dialogue started. Maybe someone else will use it as a starting point to jump in deeper. I am sure I will go into more depth with some than other candidates.
On a second note, I want to address the idea of lowering the percentage of the vote for gaining election. The starting point came from http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/7328/hall-of-fame-should-lower-voting-threshold
I think it is a good idea. As has been pointed out, this would just speed up the process for people who deserve enshrinement. I believe in making the process as quick as possible. The long weight is unnecessary. A Hall of Famer is a Hall of Famer. If they get in more quickly, that is better. It gives him a longer time to enjoy the benefits of being in the Hall. It is no harm to anyone to speed up the Hall process. It will be such a shame for Ron Santo to be elected in the first election after his death. Let us not make anyone else go through that process.
