Iron Maiden not being in the 'Rock And Roll HOF '
Complete joke.Best post if thread. Finally putting Priest in this year is first step to fixing that mistake.
I heard Priest gets in from some special category or something.
Bigger joke are The Eurythmics. I love Annie Lennox, but how are they worthy of HOF status? -

3 pitchers were snubbed for the atrocity that was Rick Porcello's Cy Young in 2016
I still can’t figure for the life of me how that even happened
But here’s a good snub: 1917 not winning best picture at the oscars in 2019. Lost to Parasite.

I still think braun beating out just barely short 40/40 kemp was a joke. I believe braun had 8 points higher average but kemp had homeruns, RBI, WAR, led the league in runs, and SB. then a few months later braun was caught on HGH which is a travesty

The 1990 AL Cy Young
Bob Welch - 27 wins, 2.95 ERA, 2 CG, 127 Ks, 125 ERA+
Roger Clemens - 21 wins, 1.93 ERA, 7 CG (4 were shutouts), 209 Ks, 211 ERA+Even leaving out ERA+, Clemens was better and should have won. Welch wasn't even the best pitcher on the Athletics, but since he had 27 wins he won the Cy Young.

Wins used to be the end all be all for baseball writers. Now we all understand that wins have little to do with the pitcher and more to do with run support.

Some people say Matt Holliday should've won it in 2007, but narrative and quirks play a huge role in MVP votes. J-Roll being in the 4/20 club (20 HR, 20 SB, 20 2B, 20 3B) and him calling his shot that the Phillies would win the East (against the stacked and favored Mets) and then willing the team to that title was a big story.
As for MVP Snubs, look at the 1952 NL MVP votes. Hank Sauer won it over Robin Roberts despite Roberts being easily the best player in the NL that year. Even back then people were baffled, and assumed that the voters just had their secretaries vote in their place.
