I think it's a great idea, and am also surprised they didn't think or implement it earlier. I agree that the OTD should be more a celebration of baseball than the HoF. It makes sense, especially given that quite a few of the players who attend inauguration weekend, hanging out and signing autographs aren't HoF'ers.
