Shouldn’t the minimum vote required be higher? I have a problem with saying someone is hall of fame worthy if half of the voters don’t think you are. I personally feel like anytime you have to go back and reference someone’s record or accomplishments, they probably aren’t worthy.

Maybe they need to tweak the system somehow since we've run the gamut on most of the 'historical' entries. Perhaps voting/entries every 10 years or so... and really it should be *no less* than a 2/3 majority vote.
I think Blind Luck, Grace and Gio were really nice horses, but HOF? Eh.
