Breaking News: The Contemporary Baseball Era committee has voted Jeff Kent into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I'm shocked...
Greg Armsinger: "It only makes sense the player with the most home runs at their position is in the Hall of Fame."
Meanwhile, Barry Bonds did not even receive 5 votes.
I'm speechless.
Jeff Kent had 14 votes.
Carlos Delgado had 9.
Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy had 6 apiece.
Everyone else had fewer than 5.
Talk about tonight's announcement below.
This is a head scratcher.... but HOF voters are a very strange group and this selection over some others is very odd!
Would love to hear the rationale of those who voted for this travesty. Kent was a very good second baseman but there are much more deserving players on that list. More evidence of declining integrity in sports-related institutions. And don't me started on Alabama being in the playoffs with 3 losses.
Voters for the HOF get to submit 10 names. How many do the Veteran's Committee voters get? Its a disgrace that Mattingly and Delgado didnt get in.
Disgraceful result.
Kent has no business being in the Hall of Fame, but this is what happens when you water down standards with the likes of Harold Baines. At least they didn't debase the Hall even further with more PED cheaters or regular unworthies.
Highest career WAR/WAR7/JAWS among non-juicer second basemen not in the HoF:
Lou Whitaker, 75.1/37.9/56.5
Bobby Grich, 71.1/46.4/58.7
Willie Randolph, 65.9/36.3/51.1
Chase Utley, 64.6/49.3/56.9
Jeff Kent, 55.4/35.8/45.6
Ian Kinsler, 53.8/38.4/46.1
Donnie baseball got snubbed again. The HOF is a travesty. Yankees biased reared it's ugly head.
