goose gossage and the hall of fame

So, Richard Michael "Goose" Gossage has been cricital of the Baseball Writers Association of America, who have not yet elected him to the Hall of Fame. That he voiced his anger is unfortunate, but in my opinion, Hall of Fame entry should never be based on popularity or likeability. It should be based on exceptional performance in the game that is compliant with its rules. Goose's 310 saves and 1502 strikeouts during his 21-season career are stats worthy of election.

Thankfully, according to Wikipedia, "[i]n 70 years of voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America, no one with such a high vote proportion (64.6% in 2005) has ever failed to gain eventual election."

I'd vote for you, Goose.
