The Baseball Hall Ballot Newbies

Who is this year's Jim Deshaies?

 

In.

 

You all are way too generous.

 

Goose . . . and about goddamn time.

The others listed in this thread, I can take or leave.

But Goose? Absolutely.

And I HATE the Yankees.

 

Gossage, Blyleven (60 freaking shutouts), maybe Dawson.

Rice was one-dimensional player who didn't last long enough and was, as stated above, a surly prick. It drives him nuts that the writers stand between him and Cooperstown, and most who had to cover him at any point know this is a perfect hell for him to endure.

Raines might make it in time. But since so many media folks get hot and bothered about the alleged super-elite who make it in their "first year of eligibility," it makes you want to wait on a close call like Raines.

Unless you think Willie Mays and Willie Stargell should be mentioned in the same breath.

 

All those K's, too.

This doesn't count as an argument, either. Just piggybacking another poster's obviously highly reasoned case. Nothing more.

 

fuck the goose. i hope he burns in hell for beaning ron cey.
