Alomar, Blyleven are in

Yippee. About time for both.

PS: Jeff, you got beaten to the punch on teh Twitterz.

 

Sounds like the voters were beaten down by the Blyleven supporters.

How long until someone posts the famous photo with Blyleven in his favorite T-shirt?

 

I wonder if I'm the only one who finds HOF debates about as entertaining as debates about players' contract negotiations. That is to say, not at all.

 

I think they're the most spirited discussions we have on this board.

 

Tiger would rather obsess about Lane Kiffin.

 

Hope he wears it to the ceremony

 

Alomar. Pass.

 

Only 41 percent for Bagwell surprises me a little. I didn't really think he'd get in on the first try, but I thought it would be closer than that. Good to see McGwire (19 percent) and Palmeiro (11 percent) so low.

 

Is Blyleven the first modern European-born Hall of Famer?

 

It's a crime that Alomar had to wait a year.

 

Wherever he is right now, Zeke is farting up a storm.

 

So it sets up as Larkin in 2012 before the huge glut of no-doubters hits the ballot. Unfortunately it looks like Bagwell is going to get lost in their wake and end up waiting about five more years.
