If Ron [Santo] is not in why should O[S] be voted in?

There's no excuse for Santo's exclusion. I have yet to hear it explained credibly.

As for Ozzie -- as someone who has actually seen him dominate the left side of the infield for a decade and a half, he gets my vote. However, in future years, those of us who remember will have to continue to tell the eyewitness accounts to justify his enshrinement, because his numbers are closer to that of one of the least-qualified HOF'ers -- St. Louis Cardinals' "Gas House Gang" shortstop Rabbit Maranville.

What do you mean, "who?" Rabbit Maranville!

. . . St. Louis Cardinals' "Gas House Gang" shortstop Rabbit Maranville.

Uh, not to flame you, but the shortstop for the Gas House Gang (1930s St. Louis Cardinals) was Leo Durocher. Maranville played for St. Louis for only two years in 1927 (12 games) and 1928 (112 games).
