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.

I think it's time to remove the veil of secrecy on HOF voting. I want to know who cast their votes for guys like Orozco, Jay Bell, Matt Williams, etc. Good players in their time, but hardly worthy of HOF merit.

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....
