Post by: Grandstand Handicapper on July 11, 2024, 01:50:56 PM: It's not about Mal vs. Bret, or Mal instead of Brett. Listen, Brett Pelling should be in the HOF before anyone else gets in. But it ain't happening. Nobody from "Down Under" has ever been elected to the HOF. I wonder why. I think it's a shame that he's not in, but I am not going to condemn those who get in before him. Whether they deserve it or not is another issue.

Benny Webster and Brett Pelling should be in the HOF.
