  1. I’ve never waited 30 to 45 minutes for food at the stadium
  2. I'm good with how he went down hill while wearing a Red Sox and then a Dodger uniform.
  3. The more I think about it, the more I appreciate Jeff's approach to the process. I guess the "problem" I have had with guys like Bonds is that his "performance" was enhanced by PED's. Then again, since baseball failed to hold guys like Bonds accountable - why should the writers? Again, it's messy. At the end of the day, I still don't care. It's interesting to talk about though.
  4. I believe even Manfred has cast doubt on the validity of that report... So, to your point - he's never tested positive since testing has been instituted. I'm paraphrasing here... but someone said if it was up to Manfred - he'd vote for those who are worthy AND who have never tested positive. That would mean guys like Bonds and Clemens would get in. Guys like Palmeiro, Manny Ramirez and ARod would not. It's messy. It's not likely to ever be resolved.
  5. I am obviously a huge Bobby Grich fan... but I'm not broken up over the fact that he's not in the HOF. He certainly has the analytics to back up an argument to put him in; especially when you compare him to some of the others already in the HOF. And that's the thing... when you compare him to others - some of those "others" probably shouldn't be in the HOF either. When I think of HOFers, I think of guys like Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente... not guys like Harold Baines, Jim Rice, Jack Morris... and not necessarily Bobby Grich.
  6. In my younger days, I might have become a little "worked up" over this stuff, but as I've gotten older, I don't pay too much attention to this stuff. It's out of my control... so... why get worked up about it? Most things in life aren't perfect. The HOF definitely has flaws. I heard the new president of the HOF on the mlb network radio this morning... he said, they don't see the point in telling voters how to vote. What's the point in having voters if you have to dictate how they vote. So, if the HOF itself doesn't care enough or have the desire to change the parameters or even set real parameters, why should I care? Some of the voters have no clue... and many have bias... Again, it's flawed. It's not likely to change either. I'd still like to visit the place some day. I'd even like to see an induction ceremony... but it's not some sacred institution to me.
