Re: Who doesn't vote for Ripken?

He's making a blanket statement about the era of baseball, not the fact that both Ripken and Gwynn are Hall worthy. He's also bucking the trend to get some publicity and get his name read. While I don't agree with his ethic, he has earned the right to vote, and shouldn't be stripped of that.

jsarno - not sure I follow your logic. The above, when referring to Cobb, Ryan, Aaron, Ruth and Mays, refer to the number of people who didn't vote for each player. All of those guys made it in on their first ballot. Not sure why DiMaggio took 3 years to get in...
