MLB Hall of Fame Voting

Do you know how many players have been inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame with 100% of the voters voting them in?  The answer is easy.  It's zero.  And I find that insane.  That list of Hall of Famers includes legendary players like Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Cy Young, Cal Ripkin Jr, Hank Aaron, and even Jackie Robinson.  Those players ARE baseball and you're telling me that the Baseball Writers Association of America didn't all agree?  But why?

It's because they are all idiots....and because some dumbasses didn't vote for Babe Ruth in the first Hall of Fame class and therefore didn't get in with 100% of the votes and therefore the baseball writers think that no one deserves to be voted in with 100% if The Babe didn't.  The funny thing is that Ty Cobb was in that first Hall of Fame class along with Babe Ruth and Ty actually received more votes than The Babe and Ty Cobb was literally the most hated man in baseball.

Anyways, I still feel like that is some really stupid logic.  The Babe didn't get 100% of the votes, therefore the man who broke the color barrier and changed the game forever shouldn't either.  Then again, Jackie Robinson only got roughly 77% of the votes when he was elected into the Hall in 1962, but that was during the 60's when racism was still considered okay, so you almost have to count that as 100% due the rampant racism.

Let's put it this way, Greg Maddux will be eligible for the Hall of Fame the next time they vote.  Maddux was well liked by everyone who ever met him, he was never linked to PED's, he won 4 straight Cy Young Awards, he won at least 15 games 17 straight seasons and only had single-digit wins in his first two seasons, he won 18 Gold Gloves (most ever), was elected to 8 All-Star Games, and he was arguably the greatest pitcher in the past 50 years.  He had the most wins for a pitcher since the 60's (355, 8th all-time), he is Top 10 All-Time in Strikeouts (3,371) and wasn't even considered a strikeout pitcher, and he has two of the lowest single-season ERA's of any pitcher since before television was invented.  He even one time called a game for another struggling pitcher from the bench and that guy pitched his best game of the season.  What I'm saying is that Greg Maddux is a no-doubt, sure-fire 1st ballot Hall of Fame inductee and if even one baseball writer doesn't vote for him, then they are simply idiotic and should have their voting rights revoked.

It's that simple, you shouldn't not vote for a guy just because some slow-wit dumbass didn't vote for Babe Ruth back in the 1930's.  Hell, he probably didn't get 100% of the votes because The Babe either ate that voters lunch one day or banged his wife one night.  So Baseball Writers Association of America, stop this stupid tradition of yours and do the right thing and start giving 100% of the votes to the guys who actually deserve.  At the same time, I will commend you on keeping out the likes of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, those guys definitely cheated and keeping them out of the Hall for a couple of years seems justified.

"Okay, not giving Ty Cobb 100% of the votes makes sense, he was a huge racist and even attacked a no-armed fan in the stands one day.  That actually happened, look it up."
