What Idiot(s) Didn't Pick Griffey?

Can't be more than 2 guys. Maybe only 1. How could you NOT vote for Griffey to the HOF?

still, it's the highest percentage of anyone going into the HoF, so there is that.

When I was a kid, even though I hated baseball--and still do--I loved Griffey. He had the most beautiful swing I have ever seen and was like Superman to me.

not being allowed on the ballot. I'm looking forward to seeing their "justifications".
