Actually, this isn't true. I'm not saying there was some groundswell of support or public outcry, but Baines stayed on the ballot 5 years. You don't do that without some people saying he should be in.

And I'm not saying he's a slam-dunk. I'm saying the people who constantly bring him up as some sort of black mark on Hall of Fame standards are being lazy.
