Agreed. The character clause is bogus. Half the players with "good guy" reps are POS when they're off-camera. I think Schilling is a vile, hateful hypocrite. I also think that should have absolutely nothing to do with evaluating his HoF credentials.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?
From what I heard on tv, apparently Vlad is reconsidering which hat he goes in with. Might consider Expos.
I thought it was for sure Expos, but sounded like Angels were faves before?
Which do people think/want him going in as? And which would be more significant, the last Expos inductee, or first Angels inductee?Comment

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?
At least Andruw Jones remains on the ballot. That's more than what other deserving guys like Lofton, Whitaker, Delgado and some others i'm sure i'm forgetting who were completely thrown out after one year.
I have no complaints with this HOF class though I had hoped Edgar would've gotten in.
Also a classy statement from Edgar Martinez:

I would put in Bonds, Clemens, A-Rod, Pete Rose, and Shoeless Joe...and maybe Fernando Tatis Sr. and others...before Schilling.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.Comment

These baseball writers are just.....I don't think there's a more loathsome group of people in sports.

It's funny in a way, everyone north of the border automatically associates him with the Expos but the bulk of his years were in Anaheim. I'd be fine either way as well.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?
Count me as one that has no issues with him staying out. Rarely is there a douchebag of such phenomenally epic proportions born with absolutely no self-awareness or common sense whatsoever. Someone who is almost Pete Rose-ian in his self-sabotage. It was nice watching him and Randy Johnson blow people away in Arizona, but Schilling staying out bothers me 0%. If you're gonna be a total idiot, at least try to do so quietly and in private. Broadcast it and become a self-proclaimed pundit? Then, it serves you right when putting your foot in your mouth constantly leaves a bitter taste.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?
More games as an Expos player, but obviously more known as an Angel in the US for obvious reasons. Hope he picks the Expos. Maybe being honoured in Montreal the past few years during Jays ST visits and having his son(who was born in Montreal) projected to be a star on a Canadian team might steer him towards Expos side,assuming he really is undecided.
When do guys have to choose what hat they go in with?Comment
