Hall of Fame Question
editWhy is he being listed as already being in the Hall when he isn't? If someone hasn't been inducted yet, they aren't a member yet. The Hall itself does not consider him a member yet [1] and on their page for Hall of Famers [2] there is a caption under the picture of Gossage and Williams: "The long wait for both Goose Gossage and Dick Williams ended Sunday with their inductions." It's the induction that makes one a member not the election. Elected politicians don't take over their office on election night, they become the new office holder after they are sworn in. I don't see why this is any different. To claim that someone is a member of an organization that the organization itself doesn't even think he's a member of makes Wikipedia users - particularly the Baseball WikiProject - look ignorant.
