Mussina is fighting a few things. The old line way of looking at pitchers. Glavine has the 300 wins and the Cy Youngs. Mussina is better in every other category. There are so many old line evaluators amongst the voting body. It's shifting, but not as fast as it needs to be.
Case in point, last year, Kenny Lofton was a 1 and done. There's no way that should be. His career is definitely worthy of consideration. But, because voters don't even look at defense and on base, he was ignored.
I'm hoping Mussina stays on the ballot--it looks like he will--and his case will build dramatically.
If Morris gets in...ugh.
I can't see how Moose doesn't stay on the ballot, I don't think he'll be a first ball HOFer though.
