He doesn't have to go in right now though, is the thing.

Some of the people involved could really wait (not Jerry of course). Get Sky Beauty in there for crying out loud. She's the Rodney Dangerfield of Hall of Fame nominees. What's a girl gotta do?

One benefit of this method of voting instead of some of the other methods they've used, is that in a few years we don't have any major issue getting both Zenyatta and Rachel Alexandra in at the same time. Procedures haven't always been consistent, and at one point they wouldn't have been able to induct 2 contemporary females in the same year.
