Shank On The Baseball Hall Of Fame Ballot

Slow news week, Shank?
Hey there, baseball fan. Happy New Year. Now tell me, how are you feeling about a Hall of Fame that includes Harold Baines but not Barry Bonds?

And what’s going to happen three years from now when David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez appear on their first Hall ballot — in what is likely to be the 10th and final ballot failure for Bonds, Roger Clemens, and probably Curt Schilling?

Wow. Talk about worlds colliding. Just try to imagine Big Papi strolling into Cooperstown in his first year of eligibility while Bonds and Clemens are bounced off the ballot for failing to get the required 75 percent of the vote for 10 consecutive winters.

It could happen.
He doesn't talk about his own ballot for this year, which is a bit disappointing. Maybe he follows up on it later...

  1. He'll follow it up the day the hall announces the inductees. He is too busy trying to hijack the Patriots bandwagon

  2. What's more boring?

    1. Who I voted for the for the Heisman and why?
    2. Who I voted for CY Young and why?
    3. Who I voted for MVP and why?
    4. Who I voted for the Baseball/Basketball/Football/Hockey Hall of Fame
    5. Why I didn't vote for so and so for the Heisman/MVP/Cy Young/Baseball/Basketball/Football/Hockey Hall of Fame?

  3. Or cry bout how Curt Schilling didn't snuggle into his bosom the minute he arrived in Boston to deliver a world series title that Dan all but admitted he didn't want to happen
