Harv’s Diner SPORTS MURPHY’S SPORTS LAW

THE BREAKFAST PLACE WORD By David Murphy

brings you SEARCH How does Derek Jeter (Class of 2020) not get unanimous
support? Who was the one (only one)
A Day At The Zoo writer to decide he wasn’t voting

for Jeter? If asked about it, the
S E G A T S Q F S A S J G S F O O H Q W argument from that writer would

E B T U S K S X R N N S S E A L S T I R likely be, “I would’ve voted for
him in a couple of years”. Huh?
V N S X D I W E A T I A T A L L E R V I
A player, manager, executive,
A A K G O O Z T E A H R H E N I H D K L whatever is either good enough
E C S N R S X A B R P B Q C U S S C T Z or not.
I’ve maintained for years
L I T I S N S N G T L E A N F N U K T G
that the selection process to
E R N P W G R R N I O Z N E F O B N O I the Baseball Hall of Fame
K F A E I I E E I C D M P F C I L U D R is flawed. Why do we leave
induction up to glorified fans of the
P A H E M S P B N A Q Y I P L T X R A A
game? Some members of the BWAA
I O P L M S P I N W A T E R I C F T Y F have never even played the game beyond
T O E S I Y I H U Y P P A H M E N S Q F Pe e we e (excuse me U13 – but that’s a conversation for
another article!) House League. And these are the people who
E L L C N E L G R C K O O L B R H E N E
get to decide immortal enshrinement?!?! My modest adjustment
O G E L G K F F A S T U P J I I N E Q S to the selection process would include living, inducted members
A I X A S N N E R D L I H C N D I R O Q receiving a vote. Those votes should be tallied and count for 50%
of the result, with the other 50% of the vote being made by the
S K T P T O A E C A L P N D G A J T U O
BWAA. Who knows better than a baseball Hall of Famer about
I I H P O M I L S N I U G N E P K V J B who belongs beside them in the Hall of Fame? This change is long

A W G I P E V A C G N I K N I R D N D V overdue and should be considered. There’s already a Veterans’
Committee who can nominate former players - this would simply
N J I N S O S S A R G S E P I R T S S L be an extension of that.
E M R G O G N I T A E V E L O H W O L B Now, with that said, congratulations to Larry Walker for joining

W C U R I O U S K G N I V I D P L E F T Ferguson Jenkins as the only Canadians selected to the Baseball
Hall of Fame as players - for now.
