I'm late to this party -- Deadspin already picked it up -- but I can't resist. FJM Legend Woody Paige wrote an article about his HOF vote.

Paige is a moronic oaf, but ultimately harmless. Bayless appears to me, if he had been steered away from sports journalism at a young age, to be the type of guy who organizes lynch mobs, to string up "uppity" black men who hit on white women.

If talking pleasantly with him is his criteria, then Woody would never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever vote for me for the Hall. Also, my stats suck. And I may have been caught using an illegal substance a time or two.

One time, Woody Paige goosed Goose Gossage's behind with such force that Goose was propelled forward and into the air.

@Midwestern-City_Water-Vapor: Leaving Marriotti out of this would be a travesty.

And I'd take Marriotti out first. At least the other two guys don't get published in my city.

In defense of Woody: 7 years ago, America just wanted to have a beer with one guy more than with another. And that man became president.

It's a good thing Alyssa Milano doesn't vote for the HOF, or the class of 2015 would be 20 deep.

Years ago, some douche-nozzle sportswriter refused to vote for Tom Seaver in his first year of eligibility. Why? Because Babe Ruth didn't get 100% of the Hall of Fame vote, so he figured nobody should.

These are the kind of jurassic asswipes that vote for the Hall of Fame. Baseball!

I was watching a television program before, with a kind of roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having some sort of problem with their boyfriends - apparently, because the boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. And they brought the boyfriends out, and they fought, right there on television. Toby, tell me: these people don't vote, do they?

"I would vote for him even if he wasn't deserving."

Your vote means he IS deserving, dicknose! Isn't Woody Paige a synonym for printing a column that fills up space in a barely read newspaper?

Woody clearly subscribes to the the "Chico Esquela" method of voting.

Keith Law and Rob Neyer, two guys who know more baseball than we've forgotten -- wait ... is that how that phrase goes? -- but they can't vote for the Hall of Fame.

This sentence makes my head hurt more than a lecture on VORP.
