Reading the Altuve thread and someone said he was a first ballot HOFer. Maybe it will change in the next ten years when he is eligible, but I think the writers who vote will take it upon themselves to punish him for the "cheating scandal" and make him wait a year. This has happened way too much, seems some of them let personal feelings dictate their votes.
That being said is there a better way to decide who gets in and who doesn't? Damn sure can't be a fan vote the All Star vote has shown us that, you don't deserve to be in the HOF because you're popular. Players voting would also be skewed because it would be a hard decision to not vote for your teammate/buddy. The HOF members voting? Maybe but would team loyalty or relationships with the eligible players affect their decision?
Is there a better way?
