Scott Rolen has me counting the days until Carlos Delgado finally gets in. I feel like Carlos not being there has more to do with his stance against the occupation of Iraq, then with the other players (HOF competition) on his first year of eligibility.

I'd vote Carlos Delgado in before Scott Rolen...then again, I'd vote Clemens, Bonds and Rodriguez in before Rolen.

.... and I will happily carry his bags from the airport lmao. Damn straight Andy Pettitte "miss-remembers."
Rocket Roger deserves to be in the hall.

Delgado had some monster seasons, if he didn't play on mediocre jays teams during his prime he'd get the nod
Carlos Delgado is a better candidate than Scott Rolen.
Blue Jays: Carlos Delgado deserved better from Hall of Fame voters
Blue Jays legend Carlos Delgado serves as a perfect example of how the baseball writers don't always get Hall of Fame voting right.

....apparently the story goes something like there were too many great Hall of Famer's on the ballad in Delgados first year of eligibility, and he he didn't get the required 5% threshold to continue to the next year.

"There are players in the Hall of Fame whose stats do not compare favorably with that of Delgado’s such as Harold Baines and Jeff Bagwell. Unfortunately, in 2015, when Delgado was first eligible for the Hall, his competition was overwhelming. The rule for the voting state that an individual cannot vote for more than 10 players in one year, and that dampened Delgado’s chance."

That's the official story and i disagree. I feel like it has more to do with his political stance.

Rolen's throws from third was the art of accuracy. Every throw perfect. I always thought it would be fascinating to have someone be blindfolded at first base with their glove open and still....and watch Rolen hit the glove and never the man with his throws from third.

What's happening though is the HOF is now less of a place for legends, and more of a place for above average. And this transformation is happening in all of our brains.
