It’s a travesty that 28 “sportswriters” did not vote for Rickey Henderson. They need to have their voting rights removed immediately. They probably cover east coast teams (like the Red Sux) and have no clue about players west of the Mississippi River.
Ricky Henderson was simply one of the two or three best leadoff hitters of all time.
I'm in agreement with other posters: when players like Mays, Aaron, Ruth, etc. are not unanimously elected, those voters need to be removed from the rolls. At the very least, publicize their votes so they can justify themselves.

Ricky says that Ricky played for the Mets, the Yankees and the Red Sox.........Ricky says that Ricky played for teams both north and south of the Mississippi River....
