Baseball has never been clean, and I wish these writers would stop pretending like it has. I don't really know what constitutes a 'first ballot hall-of-famer' anymore, but you should be able to make the argument for at least 5 or 6 of the guys appearing on the ballot this year. The HOF voting shouldn't be an avenue for writers to make political statements. They should just vote in the best of that particular era and move on. The end of this article gave some solid ideas on how to reform the process, and I think some if not all of these need to be instituted, because the system is clearly broken.
