The change I would make would be to take the vote away from the BBWAA.
Why do a bunch of no-talent hack writers decide the fate of the NBHOF? It doesn't make sense to me, never has.
It's pretty clear that the writers hold grudges against players, and refuse to vote for players for various reasons, and some who are eligible don't even choose to vote at all.
The process is broken.
I'm okay with the ballot time being reduced from 15 years to 10. In my mind, you're either first ballot or not. If it takes someone (players) 15 years to get into the HOF, or you have to go to the Veterans Committee, you don't deserve to be in. I hold the HOF to a really high standard. I think it should be the elite of the elite. Not he Tim Raines and Fred McGriff's of the world getting in.
How do you guys think the process could be bettered?
I was thinking of just having the actual living HOF'ers doing the voting themselves. At least that way, if they're going to hold grudges with their votes, at least they're qualified to do it.
