Well deserved, congrats. I am a big fan and the DH seal was broken so....glad he did not need to fight that battle. While we are at it, all of the PED guys should be in...no reason they are not IMO. Todd Helton has amazing numbers but doesnt get in because he played in Colorado...thats BS too...and do not get me started on Pettitte. I am sure all will agree, Schilling is best left outside the hall, his mouth is his biggest enemy.

I mean that is what is wrong with Baseball HOF selection, we let the media vote them in? Yeah, they aren't slanted or biased in any way these days. I do have to say, seeing ARod only get 34% on his first ballot did bring a chuckle to me.

The HOF vote has always had a layer of ridiculousness. Probably the only consistent thing about it, lol

While we are at it, all of the PED guys should be in...no reason they are not IMO. I don’t necessarily disagree, but then what about the gamblers, Pete Rose and Joe Jackson? Should having conclusively being caught cheating and/or breaking rules that baseball has long consisted sacrosanct keep these great players out of Cooperstown? Not sure the debate will ever end. PS - Schilling is probably a boarderline HOFer but worthy of induction IMO (of course I am a biased Red Sox fan), and his votes were trending in the right direction until he asked to be taken off the ballot and threw the voters under the bus last year. No surprise his vote total dropped this year given the self-inflated “holier than tho” attitude displayed by many of the baseball writers.

Hey - yesterday reminded me it's almost baseball season. Except, they're in a lockout and set a "hard deadline" of Monday (2/28) for a new deal to play a full 162 game season.

Based on where they are in terms of $$ on both sides, I cannot see a full season because I don't think this is solved by Monday.
