Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Mariano Rivera got 100% of the vote.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

I like what (I think) Rosenthal said today that he voted for both Clemens and Bonds and whenever they're at Cooperstown making their speeches it's going to be cringey because in his heart he feels they shouldn't be there.

If that's the case, he really doesn't need be voting.

Orgullo boricua! Congratulations to all the new HOF members specially Mo and my compatriot Edgar Martínez.

Mariano Rivera got 100% of the vote.

And there's a trivia.

I probably worded it wrong but more like shouldn't be there soaking up the atmosphere and adulation. Certainly he feels their numbers warrant going in especially pre-PEDs.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Kind of ironic to me that a closer is the first to get 100 percent, since for years there was a stigma about putting closers in period.

Glad Mussina got in...well deserved. All 4 were deserving, although it's amazing that Rivera got in unanimously after the players who haven't been. Of all the positions that gets in first with 100% of the vote, it's a closer!

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Edgar Martinez is in. 85.4%

Roy Halladay is in. 85.4%

Mike Mussina is in. 76.7%

Mariano Rivera is in (duh). UNANIMOUS


That's it. Bonds' percentage will be interesting to see. 59.1%

Schilling 60.9%
Clemens 59.5%

It's interesting how high Bonds/Clemens were on the ballots revealed beforehand. I don't think guys like Halladay,Mussina,Martinez dropped too much from what we saw revealed up to today. I wonder if guys intentionally didn't want to reveal their ballots early because they were afraid of backlash of not putting in Bonds/Clemens?

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

So Mussina is as an Oriole and Halladay as a Blue Jay?

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

yep, there goes the neighbourhood. first it was closers, then designated hitters, next it will be setup guys & pinch-hitters lol

Oh man, I can't imagine the talking heads going on about middle relievers possibly getting into the Hall.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Now that an unanimous player has been selected I expect this to be a common occurrence for so called "inner circle" Hall of Famers.

Halladay for sure will be going in as a Blue Jay (he's even stated in the past he wants to go in with them, and for sure his family will want that too)

Mussina should go in with the O's. Better/longer career with O's than Yankees.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Pretty bummed to see that Fred McGriff doesn't make it...glad that Andruw hangs on, but he didn't get the bump I was hoping for.

Re: Hall Of Fame: Yes Or No?

Congrats to Mariano Rivera on his unanimous election. It couldn't of happen to a nicer person.

Also glad to see Edgar finally get in.

Mike Mussina. One of the most consistent pitchers of our time. Went out and did his job everytime he was on the mound..

Sad that Roy won't be at his own induction. Another great pitcher who gave his all when he was on the mound
