HOF in their future

I don't know if anyone remembers this but, several decades back, the big issue about HOF voting was - 'should a player be voted in the first time he is on the ballot?' It was an issue in Kaline's election. No one even worries about that any longer. And, maybe, that is a good thing. If you are not a true HOF player the first year you are eligible.....why should you be HOF material 14 or 15 years down the road? Society has changed....everyone wants instant gratification. Plus many people have started to take this voting personally. If the results are not what you want - scream about it! Throw in the growing irrelevance of 'history' and most baseball fans want to see THEIR players in ASAP. I liken it to Mt. Rushmore. If the people who shouted the loudest had their way, there would be 15-20 presidential heads carved up on that mountain side. And Bill Clinton would be the Barry Bonds issue for that discussion.
