Hall of Fame Day
Yes, there's a lot of baseball news out there overshadowing the event, but it is the day the Hall of Fame will announce their new inductees. You hear the announcement live over the internet at 1:30 on MLB.com.
Update: ESPN.com has a poll of readers, where you are asked to fill out the Hall of Fame ballot. You can see the results here (my picks are in italics). I find it interesting that no player polls 75% of the fans voting.
Why didn't you vote for Blyleven Dave?
Dave,
Have you written a post on why you support Jack Morris that I somehow missed? I find it interesting that you chose to vote for him but not Blyleven.
Those two votes are based more on a gut reaction than anything else. I don't remember being terribly impressed by Blyleven when he was playing, but I do remember how impressive Jack Morris pitched. If I looked at it closer, I might change my mind. Maybe I'll do a post on the subject later today.
