That may lessen his chances, since with the writers he'd probably be a shoe-in, and voted on by a much larger pool of people.
There are only 60 or so living HoFers, so he'd have to get 75% of their votes. I still think he'd get in, since some have been vocal about his deserving to be in, including Hank Aaron who has major pull among the group.

But, there is a chance that some of those guys will have a gripe, or an axe to grind and he could get blocked.
Most people actually think the writers and their holier than thou stance wouldnt put him in, but he actually has alot of vet support.
