Andre Dawson asks that you go to hell.

How the hell did I do that?  Dawson was one of my favorite players, too.  I hang my head in shame.

This is assuming that whoever voted for Jay Bell didn't have enough room on the ballot for Rickey?

Cause, ya know, that absolutely wasn't the case.

One of the guys who didn't vote for Rickey did find room on the ballot for Matt Williams, though.

[Attezz]

Did he fill up all ten spaces?

I kinda feel bad for Rickey's fans though, since they're gonna have to deal with all those Red Sox fans during induction.

Yes way Andre Dawson is a Hall Of Famer for sure.

Since when the fuck does Joe Dirt have a HOF vote?

[TempoGL]

so every player who played ten seasons is on the ballot in their first year of eligibility?  if so, then yes, harry spilman was actually on the hall of fame ballot in 1994.

Joe Dirt still around? He was the first to be nice to me and play ribby when I joined dee-nee. Hi Joe!!

[ryno]

I'm not  a big Rickey fan, but I know the guy was awesome.  He's one of those 100% players.   

I'd love to hear someone make an argument saying he's not hall worthy.  It's just insane.



So when can Frank "The Capital Punisher" get his ass in the HoF?  He won a WS with the Dodgers and had virtually identical stats as Rice. . . . .. . he didn't have the porno collection, however.

Since when does JoeDirt have 64 votes?

hey now, matt williams would have smashed the single season HR record if it wasnt for the strike.  and he didnt need any juice

Except that he was mentioned 14 times in the Mitchell report.

Tonight, the Gods of RBI are smiling.

Jim Rice finally gets his due.  Just cause he was surly to the media is why this took so long.  Dawson not in hall is crock of shit.  I love the fact that Rock Raines got more votes than Mark Mac.  I never liked Rickey Henderson but he does deserve HOF, glad to see it wasn't 100%.

[BDawk]

If you really have to debate about whether a guy should get in, then he shouldn't.  To me, the Hall of Fame is for the best.  No to Andre no to Rice.

Done

[Stock]

Every year I start caring less about the HOF.

McGwire got fewer votes this year than last year.  So much for making a point the first year and then voting him in the next.
I guess this means that Clemens or Bonds will never get in either.

I may be reaching a little with Dawson being a Cub fan but look at the numbers Rice put up.  You try telling me he isn't the best with numbers like his.  Good thing you didn't get a vote.

Dirts encarserated at the moment...some white collar embezzling money shit.  Hes someone's bitch and wont see free day light for a good 3-5 years.

I'll say hi to him for you in the next letter i send out.
