Dawson the only Hall electee

EMSoccerCoach · 01-06-2010, 02:10 PM

How Dawson gets in and Larkin and Alomar don't, not to mention Blyleven, blows my mind.

BBWAA are comprised of idiots is my only guess.

Bluenoser · 01-06-2010, 02:12 PM

Another brilliant move by BBWAA.

I am just going to give up on Jack Morris ever making it.

Yes, you should, considering he doesn't deserve to be there.

It was his 13th. I'd bet on him getting in next year.

See what happens when you let Jim Rice in?

He got 62.7% last year and now he's up to 74%. He'll get in.

I am biased and I don't care. Life long Tiger fan. That being said he pitched his most memorable game for your Twins. That game against Smoltz was incredible. I just loved to watch the guy pitch.

The hall of fame has always been a joke, but the voting this year was more pathetic than normal.

Lets worry about getting Bert in first. Jack only played 1 year with us

athough it was an impressive year.

I still have just a bit of bitterness about when he cried and said it was a dream come true to play for the Twins and then bolts for the bigger payday in Toronto the very next year.

meh...he's 95% Hall-of-Famer without Game 7.

and...I didn't think you were that old...I was 6-7 when he bolted. Definitely don't remember his leaving
