Dear MLB Hall of Fame Veterans Committee

You failed to elect Marvin Miller again?

You're not even legitimate enough to be the joke you once were.

He got 11 votes of the needed 12. There are 11 players on the committee. The rest are from ownership/management. So it makes perfect sense.

Yeah, I heard about that this morning and just facepalmed.

OTOH, this time he only lost by one vote? Erm.

[ckd]

At least he got more votes than Steinbrenner.

[yendi]

It makes sense, but it tells me that only eleven voters are qualified.

[yendi]

Yeah, it's progress, in a sense. Still frustrating.

[yendi]

True.

It doesn't make sense, because he belongs there, whether you are an owner or not.

He made the impact that is needed.

But I don't get a vote.

Steinbrenner should have gone in unanimously.

You want to talk about someone up impacted baseball?

And I am a Red Sox fan.

(A slo think Pete Rose should be in there and that the Red Sox should retire Tony Conigliario's number).

I feel the same way regarding Ron Santo.
