High Marks For The Hockey Hall Of Fame

from Steve Wulf of ESPN,

The pride of a hockey fan is as obvious as the smell of a hockey glove -- only much more tolerable.

And that pride is reflected in the votes of our cognoscenti. They strongly feel that the selections the last few years have been appropriate (64.7 percent), an improvement over what's seen as the overall appropriateness of selections (52.9 percent). Alone among the major sports, hockey has only a three-year waiting period for voting, yet that feels right for the same percentage.

They have some quibbles about the voting process, and one even suggests taking advantage of the sport's passionate base by letting fans vote on candidates. But when it comes to rating the HOF on its legitimacy, 58.9 percent put down an 8, 9 or 10. That left hockey with a 7.5 rating, clearly the highest of the four sports.

read on about other sports and yes I noticed they misspelled 'Fedorov'...
