Just as predictable as votes for some lesser-worthies...

Hall of Fame Parity

Congrats to Barry Larkin!  He does deserve it. Seriously, though, Bill Miller the umpire has a better chance of making the Hall of Fame than Bill Mueller the former Red Sox player (and former Giant, don’t forget that!). But how about Lee Smith?  He deserves to be in.
