It is a blessing and curse because the way I have to type

Yes I understand I don't always spell right or use correct form of words , but lol auto correct can put you way out in left field.

Gil Hodges too

 

I had hoped he would get in while his wife was still alive. It does not seem that will happen. That is one of the biggest snubs.

Absolutely to much political nonsense in the game . Joe Jackson was no way on the take lol the numbers prove that

Kennesaw Mountain Landis was mad over the scandal and wanted to show he was boss

 

 I am not complaining since Edd Rausch won the World Series because of the scandal

So true

[NFLfan]

I thought Fred McGriff could have been a Hall of Famer. There was a time when he was the only player who had hit 30+ home runs for something like 5 or 6 straight years. This is pre-PEDs. 

[PrincetonTiger]

Not sure the Phillies knew there was a game today

 Atlanta won 14-0

He also showed nice longevity 

[NFLfan]

I am watching the Rangers. There is a player called Delino DeShields. I wonder if he is related to the former baseball player with the same name.

Yes was before PED's were addressed and IMO many got by using before it was.

Joe was an over achiever got the most out of his talent , the Cards fans loved him as well

[NFLfan]

I am thinking of other players who may merit Hall of Fame consideration. I cannot recall his name now. He was a slugger and 1st baseman for the Indians and I think the White Sox. Maybe the Phillies too. I think he was on the last Phillies WS championship team. His name escapes me. Who am I thinking of?

[Jay Kirk]

Well off to bed and off to Indy in morning . Good Night Everyone

Lol I am missing it too Greg Luzinsky

[NFLfan]

Ugh. These Mets are ugh. The starter pitched so well. Left after 7 with a 3-1 lead. They give up the lead in the 8th.

I have to look him up. 

 

If Albert Belle was not such a jerk, he may be in the HoF. But that is not who I was thinking of.

I hear you right now I refuse to watch Cards they were up 4 to 1 in seventh I'm sure Matheny stuck with Lynn to long or only warms up one reliever . Regardless my BP don't need help going up.
