It’s that time of year again—Hall of Fame election season. I don’t know what compels baseball fans to put such an emphasis on something fans of different sports could not care less about, but the history of baseball means just as much as the present. Baseball is nostalgia, and that generates future interest to create new memories.
There are a lot of names of merit, and I’m sure we’ll spend time talking about all of them. Of course there will be a ton of discussion regarding the nature of performance-enhancing drugs and the Hall of Fame, and who deserves to be included and excluded.
