Bonds/Clemens allegedly took steroids... that is why I brought up Pete Rose. Just saying it wouldn't be a shock to not include Bonds/Clemens....etc

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012
LOL Yeah as I recall Rose was very slow to admit to anything. First it was:
"I never gambled"
Then:
"Well okay I gambled, just not on sports"
Followed by:
"I gambled on sports but not on baseball"
Which led to:
"I may have gambled on baseball, but never on the Reds"
And finally to:
"I gambled on the Reds but only for them to win"
Riiiiiight. Sure ya did, Pete.

I don't know how many years Raines has been eligible or how many more chances he's got but he deserves to be in there. He was probably the toughest out in the Expos' line-up and could do a lot of things at an elite level. He could hit for average, he could play defence and man could he run the bases. If Andre Dawson, probably the easiest out in the Expos' line-up when the game was on the line can be a Hall of Famer, then Raines certainly should be as well.

Ya, the Rock needs to get in. He definitely deserves it. Piazza there's always been 'rumors' of him roiding up. He's a big guy, I can't say for sure. But Tim Raines was a guy who gave it his all everygame, these are the guys that deserve to get in. Not a Sammy Sosa, that's for sure. I'm going to go to a couple of jays games this year, finally they put themselves a decent lineup together, probably not good enough but they will at least be competitive.

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012
the voters really can't decide if the HoF is a Museum of the sport, or a shrine to its better players...
if its a museum, then the entire history needs to be in there... drugs, PED, gambling, wife beaters...
if its a shrine, then only the deserving on and off the field needs to go in...
I'm more in support of the shrine, to honor the best and the stats that all baseball fans love!

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012
Looks like strike three for game man. Sad, but not surprising.
TMZ.com reports that Milton Bradley has been charged with 13 counts related to several alleged attacks on his estranged wife and could get up to 13 years in prison.
According to the report, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office has filed charges against Bradley, 34, stemming from five different incidents involving spousal battery, criminal threats, assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and dissuading a witness from making a report. Bradley didn't play in 2012, but his career in baseball is obviously over.

They don't make 'em like that any more. A true gentleman and one heckuva ballplayer. I met him in 1981 at the HOF ceremony in Cooperstown. I was in a store shopping and walked around an isle corner and there he was. He spoke to me for a few minutes and was very gracious.
