There is a lot of politicking for certain competitors, and manufacturing/promotional people as well, and that plays a hand, but the sport was so late acquiring a hall of fame, that too much of the first several years voting needed to be spent putting the obvious names in. This game of catch-up has compromised the remembrances of individuals whose careers were un-viewed by too many of the voters. I believe and expect that persuasive and fact/statistic-supported cases made for champions as noteworthy as boyd and anderson will get them in soon. I think one of the cases to be made against rip is that boyd and anderson aren't in yet. (and yet rip is a first ballot-guy? That seems like the definition of new, familiar names getting the nod over more-deserving past talents.) kev's case against rip boiled down to the total lack of success he had when he strayed anywhere outside of his wheelhouse, though that same fact should have postponed the induction of a couple other names as well. I am not upset that rip williams is in, though i said "huh?" last october when he was announced at perris as a "certain first ballot hall of famer", but that fact proved true. I just hope that that same consensus can be created for the names on the list that kev provides in his column. Just talking about the choices for the nschof, as this is, furthers the cause to some degree. All votes should be public, and all voters should welcome scrutiny and dialogue regarding their choices. It keeps the heritage of the sport fresh.
