One Step Closer to the Superteams: The Unthinkable Just Occurred in the Baseball Hall of Fame Voting...

Hank Aaron.

Willie Mays.

Jackie Robinson.

Babe Ruth.

Walter Johnson.

And I could go on and on and on...

What would these players have in common that I might discuss today?

Three things:

• They are indisputably tied to the rich history of Major League Baseball.
• They were indisputable Hall of Famers
• None were elected unanimously.

Mariano Rivera just went in with EVERY VOTE CAST.  He is the first man in the history of the Hall to unanimously go in.

Fucking TRAVESTY -- but, once again, this is basically what happens when you start building any sport around superteams, large markets, and big media machines.

Look, I get it, "Enter Sandman", Hammer of God, all that kind of shit...

But if Ruth, Mays, Aaron, Johnson, Cy Young, Robinson, etc. don't go in unanimous for one reason or another, WHY THIS GUY????
