Maybe it should stop being about the players. No more stupid ceremonies, or speeches, or jackets. Just make the bust and the plaque and put it up for the people to see.

No Bonds.
No Clemens.

[NewtonHawk11]

Bonds should be in. Clemens probably too. They’re some of the best players in history.

100% should be in.
I would like each voter who did not vote for them to explain their reason/s why.
I'm wondering if there is a single good one.

Probably? Clemens is the greatest modern day pitcher in MLB history. Above Maddux, above Randy Johnson, above Pedro, above Gibson, above Koufax.

It should be titled "Integrity Suddenly Matters for the Hall of Fame" instead of "Integrity Still Matters for the Hall of Fame".

Universal DH, finally.

Universal DH, finally.

Meh. I’m too old fashioned, but I’ll probably be over it after a season…

I was always intrigued by a hybrid model where you get a DH, until starter is pulled from the game.

They need to make it so the DH can replace any player. So, like when Ohtani pitches they could use the DH to replace the SS or C, instead of the P.

I prefer the pitcher having to bat but didn't like how both leagues did it differently.
If it's gotta be DH, might as well go all in with this method.

MLB season on hold.

Manfred got up there and chuckled his way through the whole press conference. Such a punchable dude.

Said the last 5 years were difficult for the MLB. They brought in something like $45B in that period.

No Indians 4 game home stand or 2 games at Cardinals to start the season.

What a clown.

This is 100% the owners' fault. And I note that there is absolutely nothing stopping the owners from lifting the lockout and playing under the old CBA while a new one is negotiated.

I’m done with baseball for 2022.

What is the best way for fans to fuck the owners? Of course you can choose not to attend a game but in a way that is punishing yourself as much if not more than you are punishing an owner. Plus, it probably hurts stadium workers more than the owners too.
