Should the Hall of Fame induct the San Diego Chicken?

PrintSan Diego Chicken deserves call to Hall
Some interesting stuff in this article. Did you know the Chicken's debut was on the same night that Ray Kroc said "I've never seen such stupid baseball playing in my life"?
Given the choice between one of those celebrated cheaters or the Chicken, I'll take the Chicken for the Hall of Fame every time. I'm serious. I'd vote for Giannoulas, or a lifer major league scout, or a lifer coach (scouts and coaches have taken the Cooperstown oh-fer) before I'd waste a smidgen of ballot ink on the PEDers.
I think there should be a Chicken Wing in the Hall of Fame. If you're going to let in non-players and non-humans like fat cat executives than why not let in the Chicken?
"The Chicken is an important part of baseball history," a HOF spokesman said. "We have one of his outfits in the collection."
But what about having the person in the outfit be elected to the Hall of Fame?
"There's no precedent for it," the spokesman said. "Everybody in there is a real, live person."
They should just induct Ted Giannoulas, problem solved.

I voted yes
Because I don’t care and it would piss a lot of people off, which amuses me.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

I think the Hall of Fame has become sort of lame
But he has been up for election to the Shrine of Eternals for years:
Revolutionize baseball jbox style
I think every year that sportswriters can vote to kick a player OUT of the hall of fame.
