I think this is the exact same line of reasoning that got Kenny Bania a TV pilot on Seinfeld...

I have a feeling that you'd be one of those guys that votes no on a guy getting into the baseball hall of fame for nine straight years then in his 10th year of eligibility, you vote yes. I never understand that. A guy gets 50% of the vote one year, then it keeps going up each year til he gets the 75% needed even though with each year, he's getting further and further from his playing days. Or worse, a guy goes the full 10 years not getting voted in by 75% of the writers and then gets voted in by another panel. How can you not know if a guy is a hall of famer?

You know how I work. I'm like a commercial jingle.

At first it's a little irritating, then you hear it a few times, you hum it in the shower...

By the third vote its: Byyyy Naaaeeevus!

Well, this time I went in and I sat across from him and I really watched him.

I studied his every move. For example, he staggers at 9 furlongs...

YELP!
