Ron's stats did not change. I am not saying he didn't deserve to get in but 15 out 16 voting for him smacks of a sympathy vote. That is a bit irritating. If they thought he was worthy they should have voted him in 15-20 years ago. Don't do it because you are sorry he is dead. That is not how they should put players into the Hall.
I am not convinced he belongs. He has some numbers that merit it. He certainly belongs in the "Hall of the Very Good Players".
