Of course, we know the voters are on crack sometimes (Mike Irvin reference for getting in before Monk).

I thought only five get in each year.

There is no set number of new enshrinees, but the Committee’s current ground rules do stipulate that between four and seven new members will be selected each year.

Surprised not to see Dave Butz anywhere on that list.

And if you go by numbers alone, Gary Clark deserves to be in -- especially when you consider the paltry numbers of Lynn Swann.
