Who the hell left either of these guys off their ballot? And who put Ripken in but not Gwynn? How can you say one is deserving and not the other one.
It's good to have harsh voters.

Babe Ruth didn't have 100% for the first time elections. Ty Cobb missed 100% by 6 votes. Cy freaking Young had to wait until year 2, if I remember right.

It's historically been absurdly hard to get into the baseball HOF, by and large, and they just love to leave a guy off who clearly should go in.

If I had a ballot, I would have voted like this:

Henderson
Blyleven
McGwire

And, yes, I understand why plenty of people won't vote for McGwire. I personally think he is an ass...

If it wasn't for Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in 1998... baseball would still be irrelevant and hated... they brought the passion back to the game... even if they used roids, which many, many were.

I would vote in McGwire.

Yeah, 12 year olds loved them. Who cares if they brought excitement to more people? Streakers do that.
