That just makes the voters sound like petulant children. As I said in my previous post, no player on the 50th anniversary team should have had to wait any length of time to be inducted.

From a Dr. Z column from 2003 or so.
"Kramer was dinged by selectors, and I still don't know why ... too much publicity after his book, Instant Replay, I guess, although that shouldn't be a factor."

It should be noted that Kramer was a Senior candidate in 1996 or 1997 and was actually rejected by the main body of voters. I can't imagine his 30 year old book had that much to do with it.

Thanks for the responses, guys! Yeah, it simply surprised me he taking as long amongst many others that did or still may be waiting.
