Bill Belichick’s surprising Hall of Fame snub has sparked outrage across the sports world — and Buster Olney joins Golic & Golic to explain why the voting system itself may be the real problem.
ESPN senior baseball writer and Baseball Tonight podcast host Buster Olney breaks down why writers shouldn’t be voting on Hall of Fame ballots, how baseball’s flawed process mirrors the NFL’s, and why moments like this ultimately hurt the Hall of Fame itself.
Plus, Olney shifts to Major League Baseball, explaining why the Los Angeles Dodgers are the clear World Series favorites, how their offseason spending stacks up historically, and which teams helped — or hurt — themselves heading into spring training.
