BBWAA Finally Makes A Smart Decision

No, they didn't elect Bert Blyleven. But they did admit Will Carroll, Christina Kahrl, Rob Neyer, and Keith Law into their ranks. And thank goodness. I don't know much about Kahrl's work, but Carroll, Neyer, and Law are all excellent baseball writers who are far more well-versed in the game and its history than at least two-thirds of the previous BBWAA electorate. And I'd be willing to bet Kahrl would join the others.

So: thank you BBWAA, for making most of the right decisions in the awards balloting, and thank you for admitting four people who will raise the collective intelligence level.
