Originally posted by BradZ View PostConsidering the age those two started their careers I felt they were a bit better than borderline (assuming you voted for the two players I think you are talking about). They both missed out on some prime peak years.

Some of these guys should have played longer adding to their career numbers. They hadn't even begun to decline.
But, that's just my perspective. Not saying anyone should have the same. We have 24 voters for a reason.Denver Bulls

Originally posted by BradZ View PostThere's several guys on the ballot I chose to view in that context, yes. It only makes sense to me. If a guy gets started at age 30+, past his prime and still puts up great numbers during his time in the league, I don't see penalizing him just because the league didn't exist during his younger days. That's just my view.
Without knowing specifically what I'm voting on - say, Stiver for Founders Wing or Stiver for the main wing - I can't make the same vote for each one. They're two different votes IMO. While one person might look at it that way and give a guy the benefit of the doubt, another may not and then a guy is either getting in that doesn't deserve it or a guy who would deserve Founder's Wing consideration isn't getting it because his body of work isn't big enough. That being said, I'd be comfortable with my single vote either way, although I may have voted for one more if I knew he was going into the Founder's Wing specifically.
I realize it's not that big of a deal, I mean, it's a fake HOF. But, I just figured I would type something for the sake of typing.Charlotte Knights - OSFL
Syracuse Slammers - BLB

Originally posted by Jake View PostI guess my thing is, the first few votes we had, we were specifically voting on the founder's wing, which, IIRC, was supposed to be a separate wing to celebrate guys that were otherwise not going to be HOF'ers because of age issues.
