THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball

Boooo!

If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.

So Raines deserves to be in, just… after Henderson? Is that what he’s saying? People like this should immediately be stripped of their voting rights forever (all voting, because he might vote for more important things in similar ridiculous ways).

Why don’t people realize how great Raines was? Is it because the bulk of that awesomeness was 20 years ago?

Some of you want Joe Biden to assume the vice presidency on January 20, but I don’t see how you can put Biden in with Obama. That would diminish, in my opinion, Obama’s standing.

So we should only put in the best player up for the hall each year, because it could diminish that player’s standing if someone else goes in as well. Ridiculous.

94 fans at the Hall of Merit took part in a Hall of Fame poll.  All 94 selected Raines.
