How many times was a ballot cast and he wasn't elected, 18? 20? 22? Can't blame all of those strike outs on Morgan.

This certain appears to be nothing more than a rigged election. Wouldn't be surprised if one of the selection criteria questions (if there was one that is) was "would you vote for Ron Santo?"

I don't see why the Veterans Committee even still exists. These players have been well vetted by the Writers. The original purpose of the Veterans Committee was to enshrine players the Writers never saw play. Not the case any longer.
