The “never give anyone 100% of the vote” thing is soooooooo baffling to me. I get the game theory aspect (“Greg Maddux is obviously getting in, so I should vote for fringe candidates instead”), but is there anyone who doesn’t think Greg Maddux, Ken Griffey or Randy Johnson isn’t a no-doubt-about-it Hall of Famer?

Griffey gave that asshole—whoever he may be this time—the excuse to not vote for Mo. And throw in a little “He was just a reliever!” for extra spice.

This year, especially. I can understand (to a degree) the logic some people used that “Player X is a shoo-in, he doesn’t need my vote, I think Player Y is deserving but may not get in without my help”. But there is no fringe candidate that can’t get in this year, with such an uncrowded field. 

I 99.9% agree with you.

Correct. I fucking hate the Yankees, but anyone that doesn’t think that Mariano Rivera is a first-ballot HOF-er is outside of their damn mind. 

Take your star, you rat bastard.

“Keep me in mind,” said Snyder, as Deadspin readers still debated the award for biggest fuckwad in sports.

I think you meant a migraiine and diiarrhea

I forgot that Longley played during this millennium.

Yeah a Mardy Collins is definitely a cocktail. One part gin, one part rat poison, serve chilled.

Renaldo Balkman. God, I remember laughing so hard on draft night. What the fuck were they thinking? They could have gotten him in the second round too.

You can’t just make up names.

Tom Ley owes you five bucks for doing his job for him.

It’s safe to say that TMZ has done more for domestic violence victims than the NFL.

I actually think his very existence provides, in and of itself, a spectacularly persuasive argument against free-market capitalism.

For White, that’s actually a compliment.
