If there is any one man baseball players have a reason to give thanks to, that man is Marvin Miller. Murray Chass makes a case for Miller to be elected into the Hall of Fame. Color me cynical but I don’t have much faith that Miller will ever be given his due. That’s too bad, but it says more about the voters than it does about Miller or his tremendous impact on the game.

According to Tim Marchman in the New York Sun:

The selection, announced yesterday, of Minnesota first baseman Justin Morneau as the American League’s Most Valuable Player is dumb and indefensible, good evidence of why no one takes baseball writers seriously.

It’s hard to be outraged when you have little faith in the voting process.
