They can go up until 25 after they retire. After that, the old timer committee can nominate them.

I've tried to read the tea leaves for years, and just don't have a clue why they vote the way they do.

Its too biased.

Everyone has their own agenda and favorites.

A guy is either a Hall of Famer when he retires or hes not.
