<!--quoteo(post=2312:date=Dec 8 2008, 12:38 PM:name=Giff)-->QUOTE (Giff @ Dec 8 2008, 12:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Joe Sheehan from Baseball Prospectus wrote a column on this a while back (it's dated July 24, 2002) that I just found.
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->The omission of Ron Santo is the most egregious mistake ever made by the Baseball Writers Association of America. They should have inducted Santo 20 years ago, and that they overlooked him throughout his 15 years on the ballot is a shame. I sincerely hope that the new Veterans Committee rights the error quickly. It will be a boon to their credibility and a honor for a man too long left outside the hallowed halls of Cooperstown.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

At this point, I think the that the public needs to be informed of how each individual member has voted. It's the only way to make these douchebags accountable.
