I think that it's so stupid that writers get to vote for the Hall of Fame.

They just sit up in their little booth and then when it comes to voting for the Hall of Fame they vote as if they've played the game and know it more than the nominee's on the ballot.

I feel that writer's should STOP getting vote even though they've been doing it since forever.

But I feel that only Hall of Fame members and former players and coaches have the right to vote. People like the old scouts, GM's, Owners who've been around forever, and people like that.

But not writers. They're a bunch of panzee's who like to write things about the players when they don't realize that it's the players the reason that they got a job.
 
Yes, I also think that they shouldn't vote. They do nothing besides move their fingers. Maybe back in the old days they deserved it because it was more interactive. Reporters had no choice but to get in the club house and talk to the players.

Now with the internet and television and satelite cable reporters can basically just observe and report instead of observing, interacting and reporting.

The days where they get to vote are over. They just don't deserve it anymore.

Writers are people who have seen more games than anybody and have watched these games with a discriminating eye. Then they process this information and form it into a coherent column or other presentation

I think that are uniquely qualified to make these evaluations.
