Another great from my childhood bites the dust. The man just had poise and class oozing out of every pore in his body. A true hero, both as a baseball player, and as an expression of the civil rights movement.

Remember he came into the league less than 10 years after Jackie Robinson

We officially have no Hall of Fame entrants this year. Which means Bonds, Schilling and Clemens only have 1 more shot. Schilling came close with 71%. But Clemens and Bonds were both in the low 60 percent.

If bonds never did steroids he would have been a hall of famer.

Schilling I always felt he was Borderline, but his post season pitching might put him there.

I watched clemens pitch with Roid rage too many times, and the way he tried to lie his way out of it, to vote for him.

I get this feeling the Card could pull of a decent season, possibly their best since 2013, the last time they went to the World Series before losing the Boston Strong.

Admitting they manipulate service time instead of putting the best product on the field. He should be fired. Anyone doing the same should be sued out of existence, and the team should lose draft picks.

The system is screwed, tanking is encouraged to improve draft position and build teams, and teams that do this are willing to cheat in other ways.

I am looking at you Houston.

I think the draft has to be revised, the worst teams should not get the top draft picks. Make the whole draft random.
