Ichiro, Sabathia, & Wagner Elected to Baseball HOF

[Donoghus]

The crazy thing is that Ichiro was one vote short of unanimous.  I'm sure its some idiot with the mindset of "Well, he's a HOFer but not a first time HOFer"

Yeah, the HOF continues to be a puzzling thing, what with no actual criteria for getting in. IMO, there's no credible argument to be made for not voting for Ichiro. I also don't think Billy Wagner is a HOFer. I realize that not every great player is the level of Babe Ruth, but it's absurd to me that guys like Biggio, Wagner, McGriff, and Baines (just a few examples) get to share the space with Ruth, Mantle, Mays, and Williams.
