Dawson finally elected to Hall of Fame (AP)

Former baseball player Andre Dawson talks to reporters during a news conference at Landshark Stadium in Miami, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2010. Dawson has been elected to the Hall of Fame while Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar fell just short of earning baseball's highest honor.
Andre Dawson got up at 6 a.m. and went to the gym. Before going back home, he took a detour from his usual routine on the day Hall of Fame voting is announced. "I went by a cemetery to visit my mom and also my grandmother," he said. "It's the first time I had done that. I just felt a little bit more optimistic about this year, and I just wanted to share a few things at that grave...

I'm sorry.....maybe I just don't fully understand the process.  Let's see.....for 8 years....Andre Dawson was on the Hall of Fame ballot....For 8 years....he came up short.  Now.....in the 9 year......He's voted in.     Did he suddenly become a better player?   He wasn't good enough ...for 8 years........but .....now is?   This is why we slam MLB ....They ....just .....don't get it.   If I were Andre.....I'd say, "Thanks....but no thanks.....If you really wanted me in your Hall of fame......You should have elected me.....year 1."
