It will be interesting to see this play out over the coming decades. I know there's a long list of greats who deserve the honor, but think of how it'll be when the current generation hangs up the cleats. They'll never be able to catch up- and I personally think that's fine. I like the two per year set-up. Keep it really exclusive.
To be sure, it'll cause some guys to slip through the cracks- but so be it. That's life. They can be honored in some other way as a larger group. The last thing this franchise needs is resentment/hostility toward the process of recognizing their own legends. It would defeat the purpose. And to induct anyone on the basis of how much time they have left on earth would be especially morbid. Keep it light and don't take it too seriously is what I say. I appreciate the fact that they're doing it at all.
