2003 HOF Voting|Discussion

[Carlos]

The support for Gugz continues to rise.

And Pedro Zamarida!

We will be retiring his #5.

Cuz apparently he wasn't flashy enough.

I really don't understand why I player who was good for so long isn't rewarded. With the feeder players coming in with shorter life spans and "editing" now banned its gonna be alot harder to induct players after 2010.

I was thinking that the editing may have skewed voters view of what a HOF caliber player should be.

I'm always a fan of longevity in any sport. I feel like its probably the toughest feat to achieve and should always be a factor in HOF consideration. But again that's just me.

Because we are twins, I agree.

I think punishing a player for achieving certain numbers because of longevity takes away from the accomplishment of being able to play long enough to achieve those statistics.

Sure, it's always more impressive if it takes a player 15 years to reach 250 wins versus someone who needed 20. But, if a guy can play 20 years while playing like a Top 20 player throughout his career, is it his fault that he's so talented he kept playing?

Just put him and Simmonds in...both 19 votes. End this foolishness.
