The burning question in baseball circles today seems to be whether or not Jim Rice will be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in this, his 15th and final year of eligibility.

Is this a joke or what?

The man was not deemed good enough for the past 14 years, and now all of a sudden he has a chance to be included.  I say hogwash.

Let's get rid of the backward revision of a player's history and have a one-shot entry into any HOF. 

To make it fair, there should be no limits on the number of people allowed entry in any given year.  If you are worthy in year one, then you're in; if not, no amount of time is going to make you a more worthy player.
