He's going to get in. The only question is whether metrics votes catch up or if he waits for the Veterans Committee. - David Jan 6, 16:22 7
- He'd have to die first on a veterans' vote. -- nm - nic to be named later Jan 6, 16:32
- He gained 40 votes after a year with 4 inductees. Let's hold off on the champagne - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:25 5
  - Doesn't matter if it happens now or later. Smarter baseball people are starting to think about the issue and vote accordingly. -- nm - David Jan 6, 16:26 4
    - You think the Veterans who played the whole game are going to welcome him easily? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:33 3
      - I'm already gloating. -- nm - Davi Jan 6, 16:38 2
        
        If it happens, it'll be at least 20 years since this started and you'll still think Babe Ruth is overrated so - Will Hunting Jan 6, 16:56 1
        
        Right?! -- nm - Davi Jan 6, 17:16
