Enjoyed your show, gentlemen. I used to be an avid Hall of Fame enthusiast, but the voting has really been a joke since its inception. I recommend the book Failing Cooperstown. The voters will reject a great player because they regard his window of excellence being to brief, like a Don Mattingly or Johan Santana, then they'll refuse to vote for great players like an Al Oliver or Rusty Staub, claiming that they just compiled stats over a lengthy career. The voting process has always been a fool's system.
How does Quatraro not get manager of the year with that Royals turnaround? I'm a homer but dang from 106 losses to the playoffs seems pretty impressive. If they say it was all Bobby Witts doing, then the silver slugger should have won Most Valuable Player..
